Scientific paper

Retrospectively, in 1905, Special Relativity seemed palpably close; it was
"in the air". But apparently it needed the fresh approach of an unprejudiced
newcomer, Einstein, to take the final step. I report, in a pedagogical fashion,
on the scientific background that triggered the formulation of Special
Relativity and also on the role of Lorentz and Poincare.
