[ES] En este artículo se analiza la trayectoria biográfica y científica de José Clavijo y Fajardo, desde su llegada al Real Gabinete de Historia Natural en 1777, en los inicios de esta institución. Esta actividad le condujo a manejar el vocabulario científico en varios idiomas y a buscar los equivalentes en castellano, hasta realizar un diccionario de historia natural, como labor previa a su trabajo como traductor de la Historia Natural del conde de Buffon. La labor lexicográfica de Clavijo comenzó con una finalidad práctica, como auxiliar de su actividad en el Real Gabinete. Sus estudios siempre estuvieron impregnados de su mentalidad ilustrada. Clavijo buscaba contribuir al avance de las ciencias, dotando a la Historia Natural de una terminología especializada en español. Para ello fijó la correspondencia entre las nuevas denominaciones y las de la tradición latina y francesa, algo que intentó a través de su Ensayo de un vocabulario de Historia Natural, cuyo borrador se encuentra en la Real Academia Española.
