About This Item
First and limited edition (2000 copies) by well know medical doctor, philosopher and historian. Text is entirely in Spanish. Seems to be a medical history using illustrations from famous works of art as well as medical sketches. Full signature and inscription by the author on the title page. The book and dj are like new. We can't speak to the text t because our Spanish is severely limited. However, the book itself is beautiful with many striking and beautiful illustrations.
