Trabajos y libros sobre historia natural y medicina de Martín Sarmiento

In this paper we analyze the writings of Sarmiento dedicated to Natural History and Medicine, as well as to the important collection of books which he owned on these subjects in his library. This analysis is based on an autobiobibliographic text, the Catalogo de los pliegos, and upon the catalog of his library, which was developed by the author himself. These documents allow us to study the works which were elaborated by the Benedictine and the bibliographical sources that served as a support to him, which will make it possible to describe the contribution and the postulates of Sarmiento on these sciences and their applicability, an essential characteristic of illustrated science.
