SIGNED BY CONTRIBUTOR EMANUEL LIBMAN: "To Franz Gassmann,/ with my best wishes/ Emanuel Libman/ April 4th, 1936" (see photo). Libman's contribution is "Osler and Endocarditis and Mycotic Aneurism" (pp. 10-12). Quoting from an obituary of Emanuel Libman (d. 1946) by Bernard S. Oppenheimer in the Bulletin of the New York Academy of Medicine (February 1947, p. 116): "In medical history his name will probably always be associated with endocarditis in general, with the bacteria-free stage of endocarditis and with his description with Dr. Benjamin Sacks of a new form of endocarditis which he called atypical verrucous endocarditis, now termed the Libman-Sacks disease. Notable as were his achievements in bacteriology and pathology, he will be remembered by many physicians for his extraordinary knowledge of internal medicine and its literature, and his brilliance as a diagnostician. He had come under the influence of three great internists, Dr. Francis Delafield, Dr. Edward Gamaliel Janeway and Dr. William Osler, and at least some of his success was due to their fine example and teaching." In 1885, William Osler published the "first comprehensive description of subacute bacterial endocarditis" (Garrison-Morton 2790). See Garrison-Morton 2834, 2841, and 2855, for three publications by Emanuel Lipman on endocarditis in 1910, 1912, and 1924, respectively.
