Reprint of the first edition published in Berlin and Wien by Urban & Schwarzenberg over the period 1932-1933. From 1884 to 1888, August Hirsch authored six volumes of Biographisches Lexikon Der Hervorragenden Aerzte Aller Zeiten Und Völker. This remains the standard biographical dictionary and bio-bibliography of men of medicine and their literature. It was originally published in Vienna & Leipzig by Urban & Schwarzenberg. The original work covered through approximately 1880. From 1932 to 1933, Isadore Fischer authored two additional volumes of Biographisches Lexikon der hervorragenden Ärzte der letzten fünfzig Jahre, a continuation of Hirsch's work to cover medical authors and their works from 1880 to approximately 1930. This two-volume work, offered here in facsimile, remains the standard work on this subject to this day. Thousands of detailed biographies with discussions of the author's works.
