LOPEZ ESPINOSA, José Antonio. El Eco de París: The first Cuban magazine dedicated to medical students. ACIMED [online]. 2005, vol.13, n.6, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1024-9435.

Between March of 1858 and February of 1859, *El Eco de París*, a magazine created and produced in Spanish by a group of Cubans that studied Medicine in the capital of France , was published there. In its pages, the studies, works and doctrines of the French school were registered and conveyed to their countrymen who took the same studies in the University of Havana . This gave the students from Havana the opportunity to have access to the know-how acquired by their counterparts in Paris, as well as to the progresses of the medical sciences in France, since not all the Cubans had the chance to study out of the island, and the ones that stayed there rarely knew the language of the original works, translated by the writers of the magazine. An inventory of all the works published in this magazine during its 12 months of circulation is presented in this article, in which their bibliographical records are compiled in chronological order. Subsequently, an alphabetical list with the names of the authors that signed the articles is offered and, finally, there is another list, also arranged in alphabetical order, of the topics that were dealt with.

Keywords : Retrospective bibliography; bibliography of Medicine; periodicals; Cuba.
