LUDWIG ASCHOFF (1866-1942) Pathologische Anatomie. G. Fischer 1909 Vol. I: vi, 636 pp.; Vol. II: iv, 815 pp., illus. (part col.), fold. col. plate. 24.4 cm.

Aschoff, who held the chair of pathological anatomy at Freiburg, was one of the most productive of the group of German pathologists who flourished in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He made important studies on appendicitis, gallstones and jaundice, and thrombosis, and is particularly remembered for introducing the term reticulo-endothelial system. His outstanding textbook on pathological anatomy, here in its first edition, went through many editions and was used as a standard text until very recently.
