For the very first time, the 18th-century handbook, Doctrina de Morbis Cutaneis (1783 edition), has been translated into English. In an effort to distill confusing information about skin diseases into a simple system for his students, Joseph Jacob Plenck (17381807)-unknowingly and without any recognition-set the study of skin disease on a path toward formal specialization. Doctrina was the text that inspired Robert Willan (17571812) to make his own system; thus, Doctrina is the foundational text of dermatology. In the 250th anniversary of the first edition of this work (1776), it is our intent both to honor Plenck with a translation of his masterful work and to reveal its secrets to modern readers and scholars.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47924963246238,"sku":"ING-9781839999369","price":159.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781839999369.jpg?v=1782956396","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781839999369","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
