Prominent Danish Scientists Through the Ages with Facsimiles from Their Works.
JAMA · 1933
This is a commemorative volume containing brief sketches by different authorities of forty-five leading Danish men of science of the past, with concrete reviews of their most important achievements. A conspicuous and interesting feature is the facsimile reproduction of a characteristic fragment of the work of each scientist—"a page of manuscript, a printed page of text, a title-page, or a plate." Medicine is well represented, eighteen of the forty-five scientists being listed as physicians. By this book the University Library of Copenhagen pays a worthy and fitting tribute to Danish leaders in scientific work.
