<br/><br/> "Historia natural y moral de las Indias (vol. 2 of 2)" by José de Acosta is a work first published in Latin in 1589 and in Spanish in 1590. This Jesuit scholar's ambitious treatise divides into two main parts: books on natural phenomena covering cosmography, biology, botany, and geography; and books on moral subjects exploring religious, political, and historical themes. The final book recounts the ancient history of the Mexicans, drawing from sources that sparked centuries of scholarly debate about originality and attribution.
