The third volume and the other two volumes (Volume 1 available,
Volume 2 due december 1999) offer the scientific community the
works and thoughts of Santiago Ramon y Cajal by the faithful
rendition of the original Spanish version of the Texture of the
Nervous System of Man and the Vertebrates (1899 1904), with
additional facts contained in the French translation (1909 1911).
These non-English versions are being quoted an average of 200 times
yearly in the scientific literature. The collection will represent
the "definitive Cajal to be used by scientists and scholars
interested in the original thoughts of probably the most prominent
neuroscientist of all times. Unique features of the present work
include: Only authorized English translation of the original
Spanish text, adhering as much as possible to the letter, with
correction of the obvious errors already predicted by Cajal in his
Preface. Added facts appearing in the French version, with
correction of old as well as new errors, the latter probably due to
inaccuracies in translating into French some nuances of the Spanish
language. Uniform of nomenclature according to contemporary
scientific English. Annotations on Cajal s changing concepts over
time, the elucidation of certain structures that do not have
present day equivalents, and explanations of the many symbols
appearing in illustrations but not mentioned in the corresponding
original legends. Most illustrations are reproductions of Cajal s
original art work, still extant at the Cajal Museum in Madrid, with
cross references to figure numbers of the Spanish and French
versions. Citations are given by author and year in the text, with
an alphabetical list at the end of the volume, completed and
corrected for accuracy against original publications. Taxonomy
glossary of species appearing in the text, with present scientific
names, and their colloquial English counterparts. In sum, the
collection represents the "definitive Cajal to be used by
scientists and scholars interested in the original writings of
probably the most prominent neuroscientist of all times."
