Among archives and libraries
Keywords:
files, librariesAbstract
In the course of some research in the archives of Rome, made with the purpose of searching for documents related to the history of the University of Cordoba, I have had the opportunity to consult some manuscripts, which although they were not related to the object of my study, have attracted my attention because they are of direct interest to the history of the country or to that of other South American nations. It is not my intention to make a critical examination of the works that I am going to cite; I only wish to point out to scholars and specialists in the field, the treasure of documents found in some of the Archives of Rome, relating to the historical evolution of the South American continent.
The research has been extended especially to the Vatican Secret Archives and the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale Vittorio Emanuele.
Author Biography
-
Virgilo Ducceschi, Universidad Nacional de Córdoba
The first historians of psychology in Argentina and Latin America have laconically mentioned the presence of Virgilio Ducceschi on the map of the initiators of experimental psychology. For many years the trail of this medical physiologist who would lay the foundations of experimental psychology in Córdoba, Argentina, was lost. Ducceschi's pioneering work in Latin America, more precisely in Córdoba, involved the teaching of psychology in the chair of experimental psychology that he created in 1907, as well as the creation of a new apparatus for psychological experiments: the mental recorder (1910). The chair of physiology, in which Ducceschi began to serve from 1906, was created by Dr. De Grandis, the same one who guided the creation of the famous laboratory of Horacio Piñero in Buenos Aires.
