The author transcribes a drugs inventory from a caravelle sailing to the New World, in 1496, during the second Colomb's travel. The number and the nature of the medicines exceed the usual requirements of a board surgeon. More, its composition shows a medical influence. Were these drugs intended for the use of the expedition members and especially for the Viceroy?
