There is a manuscript (MCME 1105) in the Biblioteca de Reserva (Library Reserve) of the University of Barcelona which contains a number of works attributed to the seventeenth century Baroque poets. What is surprising is that, using some blank pages, handwritten notes on various experimental physics experiments also appear. The notes deal with experiments done in Barcelona in October and November 1814, and they are written by a second hand. This article tries to solve two enigmas: Why does experimental physics appear in a book of poetry? Whose does this anonymous second-hand belong to? Research led to investigate the Barcelona Philosophical Society, a society of enthusiastic teenagers that existed between 1815 and 1821 and whose members later played a prominent role in cultural and scientific fields in the first half of the nineteenth century.
