About this Item

Octavo (220 x 155 mm), contemporary half cloth, with gilt lettering to spine and marbled boards, xxvi, 215 (+1) pp., with 98 illustrations in b/w along the text and one small leaf of errata bound with, the last 10 ff. with some staining in lower half (hardly browning), not too disturbing actually, minor shelf wear but all together a well preserved copy. - First edition, scarce. - The book offered comes from the library of the world-famous Karl-Sudhoff-Institute for the History of Medicine (and Sciences) of the Leipzig University, which was dispersed by sale by the end of 2018. The institute was the first of its kind in the world when it was founded in 1906 and through its existence it gained much considerable relevance for the international emergence of a modern history of science and the source-based cultural studies. The institute was overseen by Karl Sudhoff, the most important historian of medicine of the 20th century, as was the annexed library that contained a high number of volumes sent (and sometimes even dedicated) to him personally. After Sudhoff's death in 1938 the institute was renamed to Karl-Sudhoff-Institut in honour of his achievements. All books from this library offered by us (about 2.500) were properly withdrawn from the Leipzig University Libraries holdings and bear corresponding marks (such as handwritten signatures on spines, stamps on titlepages or fly leaves). In general these were added to the volumes in a very careful manner and do not or only to a very small or neglectable degree affect the aesthetical appearance of the books. - [00B | SOD | oR ] 680 g.
