Geometric Chart of Galicia
Domingo Fontán Rodríguez (1788-1866) was a professor at the University of Santiago in the subjects of logic, metaphysics, experimental physics and sublime mathematics. To him we owe the Geometric Chart of Galicia, which was made by means of a scientific methodology, a field and cabinet work to which he dedicated 17 years of his life. His map was engraved in Paris in 1845 and printed in the same city in 1848. He collaborated with Pascual Madoz in his Diccionario Geográfico.
