WILHELM VON WALDEYER-HARTZ (1836-1921) Das Becken. Topographisch-anatomisch mit besonderer Berücksichtigung der Chirurgie und Gynäkologie. F. Cohen 1899 xxvii, 690 [2] pp., illus. (part col.), plate. 26.8 cm.

This exhaustive text on the surgical anatomy of the male and female pelvis constitutes only a small part of the many contributions made by Waldeyer. A pupil of Henle (see No. 1733 ff.) and later professor of anatomy at the University of Berlin, Waldeyer was the first to propose and demonstrate the germinal epithelium and the vascular layer of the ovary (Waldeyer's line). He must also be credited for his work on cancer, confirming the epithelial origin of carcinoma.
