Resum

The almanac achieved an incredible success in Spain during the second half of the 19th century. The different transformations that the genre had been suffered since the 18th century caused a gradual loss of the astrological contents in favour of a higher presence of miscellaneous and literary texts. This evolution reflects a change in the scientific concept in the occidental societies, where the astrology and other traditional sciences had been relegated to the superstition sphere. The satirical almanacs of the 19th century evidence the evolution of the genre and its nature, and tackle in several texts some references about that almanac’s «scientific» past and other sciences through joke and irony.
