The introduction of American medical material in Europe began with the first news about New World remedies contained in Colombus texts and Other writings related to the Discovery. This was followed by a period of "First Descriptions" and another one of "First Analytic Studies", led by the work of Nicolás Monardes. By the middle of the 16th Century only a few products had been distributed amongst medical doctors. This work tries to study the importance of American medical material and its therapeutical use in one of the widest circulated text of its time: The edition of "Materia Médica" (Medical Materia) by Dioscórides, with commentaries by the Segovian medical Doctor Andrés Laguna, who was published for the first time in Amberes in 1555, and was reedited twenty-two times up to the 18th Century.
