There are 275 books analyzed. Which they are classified in the Data Base under 33 different classes. The principal class is general pathology, clinic medicine and therapeutics with 113 books. The places in which more books where published was Barcelona (39.63%) and Madrid (30.54%). The publishing house were the ones which published more books (44.26%). The 81.81% of the books were written originally by some of the languages of our country, with at 18.18% which were transduced by other languages. The ones that were transduced were principally english (54%) and french (34%).
