Abstract
Abstract: Hernando Colón, second son to Christopher Columbus, was not only an outstanding book collector but also the devisor of an ambitious garden, the Huerta de Goles, where he grew endemic New World trees and plants. His pioneering botanical enterprises were well known among his contemporaries, and they became a model to follow for subsequent generations of Spanish botanists. This article analyses what is known about Hernando’s magnificent garden project by considering various sources, from legal documents to contemporary literary accounts, and sheds light on his botanic endeavours by connecting them to his universal library, thereby understanding the indivisibility of libraries and gardens in the imaginations of early modern authors and scientists.
摘要:埃尔南多Colón是克里斯托弗·哥伦布的次子，他不仅是一位杰出的书籍收藏家，而且还是一个雄心勃勃的花园Huerta de Goles的设计者，在那里他种植了新大陆特有的树木和植物。他开创的植物学事业在他的同时代人中是众所周知的，并成为后来几代西班牙植物学家效仿的榜样。本文通过考虑各种来源，从法律文件到当代文学报道，分析了埃尔南多宏伟的花园项目，并通过将它们与他的通用图书馆联系起来，揭示了他的植物学努力，从而理解了早期现代作家和科学家想象中的图书馆和花园的不可分割性。
