From the abstract: ``The life and activity of Antonio Sangenís, military engineer and hero of the siege of Zaragoza has attracted the attention of several authors. \dots [These authors] appreciate his live and activities, but some of them [according to the authors] overestimate or underestimate his mathematical works. [The article] delves into [his] mathematical education and contributions, and presents documents for a more accurate assessment.''NEWLINENEWLINEReviewer's remarks: As has been stated in the summary, the author produces indeed a very detailed story about Sangenís' life and work, more up-to-date and more precise, due for unearthing several new archival sources. The paper is of importance in the military and scientific history of Spain, and also possibly outside Spain; recommended!
