Abstract
O De Antiquitatibus Lusitaniae (1593)de André de Resende, uma das obras mais notáveis do humanismo português, revela a erudição de um antiquário pioneiro no campo da Arqueologia e da Epigrafia e com profundo domínio dos textos clássicos, filosóficos, teológicos e bíblicos. Investigou de modo original como nasceu e cresceu Portugal. Ao situar a história no espaço, foi rigoroso na Geografia. Nas referências dispersas sobre agricultura e pecuária, mas sobretudo no livro 2.ºdedicado aos rios e respectiva fauna piscícola, em que incide a nossa reflexão, revela um conhecimento implícito das teorias higienistas do seu tempo, manifesto na interdependência entre meio ambiente, homem e alimento. O confronto de obras de arte médica com uma leitura atenta no original permitiu encontrar indícios de um discurso de matriz humoral.
André de Resende's De Antiquitatibus Lusitaniae (1593), one of the most notable works of Portuguese Humanism, reveals the erudition of an antiquarian, pioneer in Archaeology and Epigraphy with a deep domain of classical, philosophical, theological and Biblical texts. He investigated in an original way how Portugal had born and grew. When pointing out history in the space, he was rigorous in Geography. In the dispersed references on agriculture and cattle, and especiallyin the 2end book dedicated to the rivers and respectivefish fauna, the focus of our reflection, he discloses to an implicit knowledge of his own time hygienists theories, revealed in the interdependence between environment, man and food. The original Latin text confrontation with medical worksallowed us to find indications of an humoural matrix speech
