title: The work of John Hughlings Jackson: part I by JM López Piñero. 1973.
abstract: After returning to Spain from a research period in London on a Wellcome Trust scholarship, José Maria López Piñero published in 1973 a short book entitled John Hughlings Jackson (1835-1911), Evolucionismo y Neurologia (Madrid, Editorial Moneda). Written from the perspective of the classical German medical historiography that the author had imbibed from Werner Leibbrand and Annemarie Wettley, this work truly added to Jacksonian scholarship. Neither hagiographic nor nitpicking, it offered a sober assessment of the contribution of the great Yorkshireman and it was soon to become a minor classic among connoisseurs. Although important additions to Jacksonian scholarship have appeared since 1973, López Piñero's book has retained its relevance. It will be published in History of Psychiatry in two parts.
