Geographic discoveries in the sixteenth century, alongside methodical reforms in the practice of natural history, created a situation that was conducive for information exchange between European agents and local informants and scholars outside of Europe. These contacts, in turn, acted as a strong stimulus for change in European natural history. Until now, research on this process of transformation has been mainly focused on areas like the Indian subcontinent or the Americas, where most of these activities occurred, both in terms of politics and science alike. But Iran, a crucial part of the world trade network in that period, is still largely neglected in this research. This paper seeks to begin to redress the balance, introducing some notable plant species that were designated to the Iranian world by sixteenth-century European naturalists. This introductory survey will help to shed some light on the diversity of scientific exchange in the sixteenth century and the role played by other lesser known areas in this process.

16 世纪欧洲植物信息交流网络中的伊朗世界植物物种

16 世纪的地理发现,以及自然历史实践中的系统改革,创造了一种有利于欧洲代理人与欧洲以外的当地线人和学者之间信息交流的局面。反过来,这些接触强烈刺激了欧洲自然历史的变革。到目前为止,对这一转变过程的研究主要集中在印度次大陆或美洲等地区,这些活动大多发生在政治和科学方面。但伊朗作为那个时期世界贸易网络的重要组成部分,在这项研究中仍然很大程度上被忽视了。本文试图开始纠正这种平衡,介绍一些 16 世纪欧洲博物学家指定给伊朗世界的著名植物物种。
