Abstract: Hernando Colón, second son to Christopher Columbus, was not only an outstanding book collector but also the devisor of an ambitious garden, the Huerta de Goles, where he grew endemic New World trees and plants. His pioneering botanical enterprises were well known among his contemporaries, and they became a model to follow for subsequent generations of Spanish botanists. This article analyses what is known about Hernando’s magnificent garden project by considering various sources, from legal documents to contemporary literary accounts, and sheds light on his botanic endeavours by connecting them to his universal library, thereby understanding the indivisibility of libraries and gardens in the imaginations of early modern authors and scientists.

摘要：克里斯托弗·哥伦布 (Christopher Columbus) 的次子赫尔南多·科隆 (Hernando Colón) 不仅是一位杰出的藏书家，而且还是一个雄心勃勃的花园 Huerta de Goles 的设计者，他在那里种植了新大陆特有的树木和植物。他开创性的植物事业在他的同时代人中广为人知，并成为后世西班牙植物学家追随的典范。本文通过考虑各种来源，从法律文件到当代文学记述，分析了人们对 Hernando 宏伟花园项目的了解，并通过将它们与他的通用图书馆联系起来，阐明了他的植物学努力，从而理解了图书馆和花园在想象中的不可分割性早期现代作家和科学家。
