New scientific publication published in the journal Revue d'Histoire des Sciences! This is a continuation of our collaborative work, combining botanical, historical and literary approaches, as part of SNSF-Sinergia project no 186227 (Official Website). Written with Thibaud Martinetti, this article looks back at the famous scientific dispute between the apothecary-botanist Fusée-Aublet and the agronomist Pierre Poivre over the veracity of the nutmeg trees Poivre brought back to the Isle of France (now Mauritius). This first part highlights the importance of rhetorical argument in a conflict that goes beyond the simple framework of an academic controversy (Link). A second part, focusing on the botanical elements of the discourse, is currently in preparation.
