Descripción

28 pp; 25 illustrations (of pre-Vesalian anatomy). Original cloth-backed wrappers (it looks like a black cloth tape). Mimeographed (on the recto only). Very Good. First Edition. SIGNED BY EDWARD D. ("Pete") CHURCHILL: "Dear Pon:__/ These anatomical musings/ may entertain you some day./ Pete" (see photo). A L d'Abreu is written in pencil on the front wrapper. Like Edward D. Churchill, Alphonsus Liguori d'Abreu was a thoracic surgeon. Quoting from an obituary: "Perhaps the contribution which gave 'Pon', as we all called him, the greatest pleasure and satisfaction was the production of his classic work, A Practice of Thoracic Surgery, first published in I953, now translated into many languages, and renamed d'Abreu's Practice of Cardiothoracic Surgery. The fourth edition appeared early this year and gave him great joy. He would look through it, talk about it, and reminisce about the production of the first edition. This, other than his personality and the fact that he trained four professors of surgery, is his greatest memorial.". N° de ref. del artículo 14095
