Note

[edit]

Just a note to say that there may be an error on p. 160 of Pavord's 2005 book The Naming of Names, and I'm looking to see if it was corrected in the 2009 edition. She writes, "From the New World alone came such curiosities as maize, yams, potatoes, runner beans, French beans, the sunflower, the Jerusalem artichoke. In the gardens of the Medici in fifteenth-century Florence, there were already pineapples and mulberry trees among the olives and vines." This is a curious statement, as pineapples only came to Europe in 1496. Francisco Zamora Rodríguez (2014) writes that "Lorenzo Ginori was asked to ship araticù and pineapples via the Jesuits, which he did later on, sending them to Florence via Genoa, where they were very badly treated, to the indignation of the Medici." According to Rodríguez, this was around 1673. Viriditas (talk) 20:58, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
