Abstract

After many years of intense research and editing, the Consello da Cultura Galega has produced a complete new edition of De historia natural y de todo género de erudición, written between 1762 and 1765 by the Enlightenment Galician Benedictine, Martín Sarmiento. Like other works by the great polygraph and polymath written between 1743 and 1770, this book contains numerous didactic reflections on and analyses of different educational matters, and is imbued with the influence of Sarmiento’s fellow pedagogues and Enlightenment contemporaries Comenius, Locke, Rollin and Verney.
