Die Lehrbücher und Gesamtdarstellungen der Geschichte der Medizin 1696-2000

During the Age of Enlightenment, the history of medicine was examined in greater depth for the first time; in the 19th century, the history of medicine developed into an independent scientific discipline, and in the last century, it established itself as an academic institution. Against this backdrop, the emergence and development of textbooks in this discipline can be seen, which have appeared in increasing numbers. This book provides a unique overview of these textbooks and comprehensive representations of the history of medicine. The author has succeeded in tracking down and describing nearly 300 textbooks, published from 1696 to 2000, spanning from Le Clerc's first modern textbook on the history of medicine to the present day. In the field of medical history, older and ancient textbooks are also of great interest, resulting in a useful catalog for those interested in and researching medical history. Since the author has analyzed these textbooks individually according to a standardized scheme, the book is much more than just a catalog and provides comprehensive information. The 287 textbooks are listed in alphabetical order on pages 75-257, complete with bibliographic details and brief information.
