| Summary | "Instrvcçam sobre a cvltvra das amoreiras, & criaçaõ dos bichos da seda" by D. Rafael Bluteau is a scientific publication likely written in the late 17th century. The text serves as a guide for the cultivation of mulberry trees and the raising of silkworms, which are integral to the production of silk. The author discusses the practical and economic benefits of establishing silk production in Portugal, emphasizing its potential for wealth and industry. The opening of this work introduces the reader to the intricate relationship between the mulberry tree and silkworms, laying the groundwork for the instructions that follow. Bluteau stresses the importance of these plants and insects not only for their agricultural value but also for their role in enriching the nation's economy. Through historical context, the author references previous cultures and their contributions to silk industry development, setting the stage for his assertion that Portugal is well-positioned to follow suit. He presents the unique environmental conditions of the region that would favor the cultivation of mulberry trees and the successful breeding of silkworms, making a compelling argument for the readers and potential policymakers.
