Resumen Las biobibliografías recopilan datos personales, profesionales y académicos de una persona que, por su trayectoria profesional, ha destacado en alguna de las áreas del saber. Si hay un protagonista relevante en la historia del conocimiento en Canarias es el médico Gregorio Chil y Naranjo, figura del siglo XIX destacada por sus aportaciones en campos tan diversos como la historia, la antropología, las ciencias médicas y naturales,… y por su proyección internacional. Dada su trascendencia estas páginas recogen una revisión bibliográfica de los textos escritos por y sobre el doctor Chil, completándola con una breve descripción de su biografía en la que se aportan nuevos datos como es el caso de su relación en la Sociedad Española de Historia Natural durante ocho años. Abstract The Biobibliographies collect personal, professional and academic data from a person who, due to his professional career, has excelled in some of the areas of knowledge. If there is a relevant protagonist in the history of knowledge in the Canary Islands, it is the doctor Gregorio Chil y Naranjo, a figure of the 19th century distinguished by his contributions in fields as diverse as history, anthropology, medical and natural sciences, ... and by his projection international. Given its importance, these pages include a bibliographic review of the texts written by and about Dr. Chil, completing in which new data is provided, as is the case of his relationship with the Spanish Society of Natural History for eight years.

Resumen Hacemos un repaso histórico de los 165 años de existencia de la Colección de Zoología de la Universidad de Granada, desde aquella que formó parte del Gabinete de Historia Natural hasta la actual Colección Histórico-Didáctica. Destacamos los acontecimientos sociales más relevantes que han influido en la transformación de este conjunto patrimonial a lo largo del último siglo y medio. Fruto de un floreciente interés por las ciencias naturales a mediados del siglo XIX y con la definitiva influencia del Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales de Madrid personalizada en la figura de su director Mariano de la Paz Graells, nacen la mayoría de los gabinetes de historia natural de los centros docentes españoles, los cuales se irían adaptando a los cambios en las universidades y en la propia sociedad. Desgraciadamente esta época dorada de interés por la exploración y las ciencias naturales va decreciendo alcanzando su punto más bajo con la guerra civil española y la consiguiente postguerra, quedando en el olvido y perdiéndose muchas de las colecciones históricas. Actualmente la promoción del estudio y uso didáctico de estas colecciones hace que en la medida de lo posible se esté recuperando parte de la riqueza que en otros tiempos tuvieron. Abstract We review 165 years of history of the Zoology Collection at the University of Granada, from the Cabinet of Natural History to the Department’s current Historical-Didactic Collection. We highlight the most significant events that have had an impact on its heritage’s transformation over the last century and a half. Most cabinets of Natural History established in Spanish educational centres were the result of burgeoning interest in natural science in the middle of the 19th century. The National Museum of Natural Sciences in Madrid, under the guidance of its Director, Mariano de la Paz Graells, wielded enormous influence on those cabinets, which continually adapted to change at Universities and in society in general. Unfortunately, the golden age of exploration and natural sciences steadily eroded, reaching its lowest point during the Spanish Civil War and in the postwar period. Many historical collections were neglected and lost forever. The current drive for the study and didactic use of these collections will allow us to restore partly their extraordinary wealth.

Resumen: La figura de Augusto no tuvo gran atractivo para los historiadores españoles del siglo XIX. Más interesados en destacar la labor de los emperadores de origen hispano, las Historias de España no dedicaron demasiada atención a la labor de quien cerró las conquistas militares romanas en la Península Ibérica. Las contradicciones fueron constantes en una historiografía que abordó la etapa augústea casi siempre de manera colateral y que no profundizó de manera exhaustiva en el conocimiento de este periodo histórico. Sin embargo, como muestra este artículo, Augusto no pasó desapercibido en la historiografía española decimonónica.Palabras clave: Emperador Augusto, Historiografía española, Historia de Roma, siglo XIX.Abstract: The figure of Augustus did little to attract the attention of 19th century Spanish historians. They were more interested in highlighting the work of emperors of Hispanic descent, thus the Histories of Spain dedicated little space to the Roman military leader who conquered the Iberian Peninsula. There are constant contradictions in the historiography, which approached the Augustan period almost exclusively side on, never plunging into the knowledge with exhaustive depth. However, as this article shows, Augustus did not go completely unnoticed in the 19th century Spanish historiography.Key words: Emperor Augustus, Spanish historiography, history of Rome, 19th century.

The exhibition of two mummies in the Natural History cabinet in Paris aroused the interest of various scientific expeditions that made a stopover in Tenerife in the first half of the 19th century. Nicolas Baudin’s expedition in 1800 coincided with the discovery of a cave with mummies in El Sauzal and three ended up in the university museums of Montpellier and Göttingen and one in the cabinet of Saviñón. Another mummy was given to von Krusenstern’s Russian expedition of 1803, currently in the museum of Saint Petersburg. A new cave with mummies was discovered ca. 1815 in Tacoronte, which ended up in the scientific cabinet of Megliorini. Another mummy located in Valleseco, Santa Cruz, around 1823, was sold in Puerto de la Cruz to a Swiss merchant for the Geneva museum.

The history of formation of the bryological herbaria of the State Natural History Museum of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine is considered. Many collectors and scientists-botanists took part in the formation of the main scientific fund of the bryological herbaria, among them A. Lazarenko, K. Ulychna, V. Melnichuk, M. Slobodian and others. The article contains a list of samples of bryophytes, which are included in the Red Book of Ukraine. Rare samples (including doublets and exsiccates) are described from territories of other countries, as well as specimens dating to the end of the 19th century.

The article, referring to the texts about crowd by Le Bon and Maria Konopnicka, presents the history of the modern subject who discovers wildness surrounding him. Recognizing wildness, the authors of the end of the 19th century reached for evolutionary logic, to be precise to the parameter of biological races treating the phenomenon of “crowd” as a sign of wildness. According to this logic, crowd became a kind of “desocialized horde” (Konopnicka), social “heap”, which was subject to temporary “regress”. Modern mind was then defined by street crowd through the discourse of natural sciences falling into an impassable aporia: lower – higher.

When the need for industrialization surfaced in the 19th century, Ottoman Empire aimed to establish state-led, profit-oriented enterprises after the Imperial Edict of 1839, which is also known as Tanzimat. Experienced accountants of the state tried to do the investment calculations of an iron factory in the 1840s (Istanbul) by benefiting from the merdiban accounting method, which was initially developed to record the revenues and expenditures of the state. This study contributes to the relevant literature by analyzing the adequacy of this statist-centralist accounting method within a profit-oriented environment and its role in this failed attempt towards industrialization. Merdiban allows the separation of investments as actual construction, still projected and shows the payment status of investments in details. As one of the first profit oriented investment project in the history of the Ottoman Empire, accountants mislead critical pieces of information like plans for procurement of raw materials, projected sales, payback time, capacity and depreciation. Findings indicate that neither accountants nor the method were ready to operate in a for-profit organization, eventually resulting diminish of this old accounting method in 1879.Cuando en el siglo XIX surgió la necesidad de la industrialización, el Imperio Otomano se propuso establecer empresas dirigidas por el estado y con fines de lucro después del Edicto Imperial de 1839, también conocido como Tanzimat. Contadores experimentados del estado intentaron hacer los cálculos de inversión de una fábrica de hierro en la década de 1840 (Estambul) al beneficiarse del método de contabilidad merdiban, que se desarrolló inicialmente para registrar los ingresos y los gastos del estado. Este estudio contribuye a la literatura relevante mediante el análisis de la adecuación de este método de contabilidad estatista-centralista dentro de un entorno orientado a los beneficios y su papel en este intento fallido de industrialización. Merdiban permite la separación de las inversiones como construcción real, aún se proyecta y muestra el estado de pago de las inversiones en detalles. Como uno de los primeros proyectos de inversión con fines de lucro en la historia del Imperio Otomano, los contadores confunden datos críticos como los planes para la adquisición de materias primas, las ventas proyectadas, el tiempo de retorno, la capacidad y la depreciación. Los resultados indican que ni los contadores ni el método estaban listos para operar en una organización con fines de lucro, lo que finalmente disminuyó el uso de este viejo método de contabilidad en 1879.* I am pleased to acknowledge the financial support for this research provided by the Scientific Research Projects Division (TÜBAP) of the Trakya University, Republic of Turkey. I am also grateful to the participants at the 13th World Congress of Accounting Historians, Newcastle, U.K., and the two anonymous referees for helpful comments on earlier drafts.

Se presentan aquí resultados de una investigación documental sobre la historia de una antigua hacienda de cacao fundada a principios del siglo XVII en la costa central venezolana, llamada originalmente Tuasana. Fue una hacienda trabajada por esclavizados que permanecieron asentados allí incluso abolida la esclavitud en 1854, mientras que sus descendientes todavía residen en el lugar, hoy llamado Todasana. A finales del siglo XIX, un grupo de mujeres cambió el apellido que les había impuesto la administración de la hacienda desde inicios del siglo XVIII. Fue una valiente decisión, pero al no transmitirse a la descendencia, dejó en el olvido al pasado de la esclavitud y a sus ancestros. De ellos nadie habla hoy, así como nadie refiere a la importante decisión de aquellas mujeres de Todasana. Abstract: The results of a documentary investigation on the history of an old cocoa farm founded in the early seventeenth century on the Venezuelan central coast, originally called Tuasana, are presented here. It was a farm worked by enslaved who remained seated there even abolished slavery in 1854, while their descendants still reside in the place, today called Todosana. At the end of the 19th century, a group of women changed the last name that had been imposed on them by the administration of the hacienda since the beginning of the 18th century. It was a brave decision, but not being transmitted to the offspring, he left the past of slavery and his ancestors in oblivion. Nobody talks about them today, just as nobody refers to the important decision of those women in Todasana.
