Abstract

LOPEZ ESPINOSA, José Antonio; HERNANDEZ FERNANDEZ, Moisés  and  TILLAN GOMEZ, Sahilyn. The topic of nutrition and food in the Cuban medical bibliography of the colonial period. ACIMED [online]. 2006, vol.14, n.5. ISSN 1024-9435.

After a brief introductory review of the international medical bibliography that dealt with the topics of nutrition and food between the XVII th and the XIX th centuries, the first writings produced in Cuba on the subject are made known. These writings appear in the Capitular Acts of the City Council of Havana, and the circumstances of their origin are briefly discussed. A list of the first news and articles written up on the matter and registered in the Periodico Papel de La Havana between 1795 and 1844 is also presented. The Cuban medical journals published in the XIX century that include in their pages works related to the discipline are listed, and an inventory of the articles published per year is presented. Finally, the titles of the papers published on the subject in the island or abroad by Cuban authors between 1842 and 1900 in book, monograph or booklet form are inscribed.

Keywords : Medical bibliography; retrospective bibliography; nutrition; food; colonial period; Cuba.
