Abstract

Eduard Fontserè i Riba (Barcelona, 1870-1970) was a leading scientist in the fields of astronomy, meteorology and seismology. As the founder and first director of the Meteorological Service of Catalonia, he is considered the father of professional Catalan

meteorology. One of the outstanding works in his bibliography is Assaig d’un vocabulari meteorològic català (Essay on a Catalan Meteorological Vocabulary, 1948), which is still today a reference dictionary for meteorology experts. The importance of this work, however, is not limited to the field of meteorology since it can also be considered a pioneering and highly significant dictionary in the context of terminology as a discipline, for both its methodology and its scope.
