Scientific paper

In this paper, we shall review some aspects of José Luis Sérsic's Ph.D. thesis: "Application of a certain type of canonical transformations to Celestial Mechanics", presented in 1956 to obtain the degree of Doctor of Philosopy in Astronomy of the National University of la Plata (La Plata, Argentina). We have found that Sérsic's work shares deep similarity to the method now known as Hori's method although this was published ten years later. We shall discuss possible connections between both works, and the circumstances whereby Sérsic's work remained hidden to the international astronomical community.
