The 17th century represented a parenthesis in Spain's scientific development at an institutional level although learning was preserved and transmitted to the incoming generations by means of individual personalities. Bernardo de Cienfuegos, a physician and botanist, wrote his works in the first half of the 17th century. These amount to seven hand-written bound volumes that are kept at the Spanish National Library and contain some 1,000 drawings of plants, most of them in colour. They actually are a monumental work of recopilation that gather a great number of original data about plants and their application, especially in the realm of medicine.
17世纪在西班牙机构层面的科学发展中是一个插曲，尽管知识通过个人得以保存并传递给后代。贝尔纳多·德·西恩富埃戈斯是一位医生兼植物学家，他在17世纪上半叶撰写了著作。这些著作共有七卷手写装订本，保存在西班牙国家图书馆，其中包含约1000幅植物图，大部分是彩色的。它们实际上是一部具有里程碑意义的汇编作品，收集了大量关于植物及其应用的原始数据，尤其是在医学领域。
