23 pp. All edges gilt. Contemporary boards. Very Good. First Edition. BOUND WITH: Sätze welche den 24ten März zur Erlangung der Doctor-Würde in der Entbindungskunst öffentlich auf der Ludwigs-Universität vertheiden wird Charlotte Heiland genannt v. Siebold aus Heiligenstadt. Giessen: Gedruckt mit Schröder'schen Schriften, [1817]. 8 pp. 24ten März corrected to 26ten März, with red pencil. In 1817 Charlotte von Siebold received a doctorate in medicine at the University of Giessen, after the defence of her thesis on extrauterine pregnancy [offered here]. She thus became only the second woman in the German-speaking world to earn a doctorate in medicine (the first being Dorothea Erxleben, who earned her doctorate from Halle in 1754). Charlotte von Siebold was the daughter of Josepha and her first husband, who died when Charlotte was young. Josepha then married Damian von Siebold, a son of the physician Carl Caspar von Siebold. Josepha assisted Damian in the practice of medicine, and in 1815 Josepha was granted an honorary doctorate in medicine by the University of Giessen. In 1811 Charlotte went to Göttingen to study medicine with Friedrich Benjamin Osiander and in 1817 she received a doctorate in medicine at the University of Giessen. Charlotte von Siebold was present at the birth on May 24, 1819, of the baby who, in 1837, became Queen Victoria. She was also present at the birth on August 26, 1819, of Albert of Saxe-Coburg, who became Prince Albert, husband of Victoria, in 1840. Since Victoria and Albert were first cousins maybe it should not be surprising that Charlotte von Siebold attended the birth of both. To my knowledge this is the only publication by Charlotte von Siebold, whose full name was M. Th. [Marianne Theodore] Charlotte Heiland gen. von Siebold. 1.
