The Cartas Ânuas of Província Jesuítica of Paraguay and the prescriptions and treaties on medicinal botany, such as Materia Médica Misionera, – written by priests and Jesuit brothers in the 17th and 18th centuries – reveal that epidemics – and the ensuing search for the cure for the infirm – determined an increasingly rational observation of nature, a systematization of this knowledge and its practical application in the reductions kept by the Company of Jesus. The native pharmacopoeia and, in particular, the indigenous native practices, despite having been the target of depreciation and emphatic condemnation due to their magical-ritual characteristics, were not only adopted, but also subject of study by the missionaries, committed to guaranteeing the health of the souls as well as the bodies of the American natives. To this conciliation between charity and science, among European medical theories, added to the Christian ritualistic procedures, and experiments with medicinal plants performed in missionary spaces, can be attributed the uncontestable originality of the work of the Company of Jesus in the healing arts in the 17th and 18th centuries. |
