Beyond disciplinary borders. H. A. Lorentz and S. Ramón y Cajal.
Science is a multidisciplinary enterprise. Mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, geology, and many other, perhaps not so " basic ", but not less interesting disciplines form what we call " science ". The task of history of science is to recover and put order in the past of such disciplines. Although, on most the occasions, those histories are limited by the territories of the different sciences, we know that their frontiers are not impermeable, that there are relationships between them. However, it is not frequent to find studies dealing with those relationships, especially dealing with relations among scientists belonging to different fields. In the present paper, we study a case in which two outstanding scientists, a physicist and a histologist (or neuroscientist, as we would say today), the Dutchman Hendrik A. Lorentz and the Spanish Santiago Ramón y Cajal, maintained a, albeit brief, relation. Both being such prominent scientific figures, of worldwide stature, the relation they maintained deserves to be known.
