Resumo: | We begin by sketching a short history of the settlement of the Monastery of the Regular Canons of the Monastery of Santa Cruz in the city of Coimbra and the action they carried out, both by providing spiritual support to the community and by assisting the deprived population through the creation of an hospital which sought to help not only the sick, but also those lacking comfort and protection. We look into this action in context by characterizing the national situation led by the Church and fostered by royal protection which we illustrate through a few examples. We give notice of the small collection of books which belonged to the pharmacy referred to before (all pertaining to medical topics and dealing with the correct manipulation of drugs) which have surprisingly survived to this day, especially when one considers the vicissitudes they have been exposed to in the course of several centuries of neglect. We will present some information on this collection and provide an overview of the most renowned authors ant the most rare editions. |

Se procede al encuadramiento histórico del cultivo de las artes liberales en el país, poniendo en evidencia el peso de las áreas de la asistencia y de la salud, factores que en cierto modo permiten comprender el lugar preponderante de la medicina, sin perjuicio de otros saberes como la Astronomía y la Matemática, en elmarco científico portugués de esos siglos. Finalmente, se realiza el inventario de manuscritos científicos medievales, o de noticias sobre ellos, que perduran en el patrimonio bibliográfico portugués.Cette étude prétend analiser l’existence et la circulation du livre scientifique dans le Portugal du Moyen Âge. Nous procédons à l’encadrement historique de la culture, dans le pays, des artes liberales, en évidenciant le poids des domaines de l’assistance et de la santé, des facteurs qui, d’une certaine façon, permettent decomprendre la place privilégiée de la médecine, sans détriment d’autres savoirs comme l’Astronomie et les Mathématiques, dans le quadre scientifique de ces siècles. Nous procédons également à un inventaire de manuscrits scientiques ou d’informations qui le concernent qui existent dans le patrimoine bibliographique portugais.Procede-se em primeiro lugar a um breve historial acerca da implantação do Mosteiro dos Cónegos Regrantes do Mosteiro de Santa Cruz na cidade de Coimbra e da ação desenvolvida, não só na prestação do apoio espiritual à comunidade, mas ainda na área da assistência à população menos favorecida, nomeadamente através da criação de um hospital que prestava auxílio não só aos doentes, mas também aos carentes de conforto e proteção.Contextualiza‐se esta ação na conjuntura nacional liderada pela Igreja e favorecida pela proteção real, de que se referem alguns exemplos. Dá‐se a conhecer o pequeno núcleo de livros que pertenciam à referida botica (versando temas médicos e permitindo conhecer a correta manipulação de medicamentos), surpreendentemente chegados até nós, conhecidas que são as vicissitudes que atravessaram durante séculos de incúria e negligência. É deles que aqui se dá notícia, permitindo um breve relance sobre os autores mais célebres e as edições mais raras.Universidade de Aveiro2020-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.34624/agora.v0i14.1.9901https://doi.org/10.34624/agora.v0i14.1.9901Ágora.
