Abstract

We analyze the activity of Josep Cuatrecasas Arumí (1903-1996) as editorial secretary of the magazine Cavanillesia, published between 1928 and 1938. We value his participation from four fronts: secretary, author, reviewer and re-rated. The study allows specifying the date of publication of the articles in the journal, the influence of Emili Huguet del Villar on the geobotanical methodology followed by Josep Cuatrecasas and his effort to disseminate the new botanical publications, from the pages of the journal, together with Pius Font i Quer.

Highlights

  • On February 29, 1928, the first issue of the Cavanillesia

  • The idea of publishing a botanical magazine was made explicit in a letter Pius Font sent to ask Carlos Pau, from Barcelona, dated 1927.11.26

  • The publication of Cavanillesia would run like wildfire among Spanish botanists: Salustio Alvarado will congratulate Carlos Pau for the initiative, in a letter dated in Zaragoza, in December 1927.12.12 (Mateo, 1996: 162), Josep Cuatrecasas himself would publicize the magazine among the readers of the Butlletí of the Institució Catalana d’Història Natural
