x Introduction Coster article "Une description inédite de la demeure de Don Vincencio Juan de Lastanosa" (Revue Hispanique, 1912, XXVI, pp. 566-610), where is reproduced a seventeenth century description of Lastanosa palace, gardens and collections, entitled Las tres cosas más singulares que tiene la casa de Lastanosa en este año de 1639 9 . On the other hand, Ricardo del Arco book La erudición aragonesa del siglo XVII en torno a Lastanosa (Madrid, 1934), where is reproduced the totality of primary sources preserved in the Spanish libraries. The Organizing Committe don't use these works and the reason was simply: we selected only the reports and chronicles made by Lastanosa or his contemporaries. Del Arco selection included copies realized in eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, defectives and incompletes and Las tres cosas mas singulares… is a falsification, as some historians have discovered recently 10 . *** There is a last novel aspect of Lastanosa: Art and Science in the Baroque. The approaches made in last twenty years saw Lastanosa as an artistic and literary patron 11 . Our approximation has been done from the scientific perspective or, as would say Lastanosa contemporaries, considering him as a natural philosopher. *** Lastanosa: Art and Science in the Baroque was an experiment. In The Gentleman, the Virtuoso, the Inquirer. Vincencio Juan de Lastanosa and the Art of Collecting in Early Modern Spain we can see the results. Amazing results, we can conclude.
