Put it up in here. You never know. Maybe biodiversity heritage library - Christina Pikas

What book is it? - Joe

Thanks - Biodiversity Catalog doesnt have it (didn know of about that) - Neither does Hathi Trust (which has a lot of v. good old neuroscience books I have been wanting to get my hands on!) - The main one is CL Sala Pons, La corteza cerebral de las aves, Madrid 1989 (only found at University of Barcelona). Also interetsted in Pedro Ramon y Cajal's Trabajos de la seccion de tecnica anatomica de la facultad de medicina de Zaragoza, 1889. - Kubke

Do you need the full book, or just a part? That is, can we recruit someone in Barca to copy the pages you want? - Egon Willighagen

well, worldcat knows of 2 other copies but probably no better. One is in Bibliothèque interuniversitaire de santé and the other is at Royal College of Surgeons of Engineer (which is not listed as a lender) - Christina Pikas

huh. appears to be his thesis? and bound with other pamphlets by the same author? maybe that would be the way to look? - Christina Pikas

I don't think so - at least not in the way we think of theses today as a document related to a degree. I'd suspect the word "thesis" (at least in spanish) was used to describe a type of book that was not quite a monograph, and it might have stuck. - Kubke

@Egon - we just need a part - but of course we don't know what page the info we are looking for is. We are emailing our colleagues in Spain so we can send them a picture of what we are looking for and hopefully they'll find a similar illustration in the book :) - Kubke

Texture of the Nervous System of Man and the Vertebrates was just reprinted in English: http://link.springer.com/book... but that's more recent. - Christina Pikas

@Christina - ah yes, forgot about the french one, somehow worldcat didnt return the the RC of surgeon that I remember. We are after a colleague in Valencia who might be able to help us get to the Barcelona copy or may know of someone who has a copy on their shelves (my shelves have several of these types of books dating to 1700's!) We actually got the citation from a 1904 book that I have a facsimile of. Oh well, no one can accuse me of not trying to do proper attribution :) - Kubke

What a beauty! A colleague of ours from University of Valencia got us and sent us the pdf! Nothing like reading an 1893 neuroanatomy paper to underscore how little we have progressed! We basically know as much today about these odd neurons we are looking at as Sala Pons and the Cajal brothers did at the end of the 19th century! - Kubke
