Abtheilung, while parts 4 & 5, Gesch lechtsorgane were issued together as Band I, 2. Abth. -- making this a complete mess to figure out. First four Lieferungen complete, without the 1876 5. Lieferung, which is part II of Geschlechtsorgane. A 6. Lieferung by Schwartze on Gehör-Organ and 7. b y Eppinger on Larynx Trachea were added respectively in 1878 and 1880.

"German pathologist and pioneer in bacteriology. Born in Königsberg. Studied there under Rathke and Helmholtz, and in Würzburg under Kölliker and Virchow, following the latter to Berlin. . . . In 1895 he emigrated to America and settled in Ru sh Medical College, Chicago [returning to Europe in 1900]. . . . Klebs was a most prolific writer and worker. Published [an] important memoir on the pathology of gun-shot wounds 1872 and wrote on the bacteriology of enteric fever, rinderpest, vaccinia, d iphtheria, syphilis, and tuberculosis. He also wrote but did not finish a large Hanbuch d. path. Anatomie. Klebs was one of the first in every advance in bacteriology but had the misfortune to miss almost every discovery that has turned out to be correct" [Bulloch's History of Bacteriology, p. 376]. The 1. Abt., 3. Lieferung of his Handbuch contains a classic description of glomerulonephritis ("Krebs' disease") on pp. 644-48 [GM 4212]. "With Pasteur, he was perhaps the most important precursor in the bacterial theory of infection; indeed, he did most to win the pathologists to his view" [Garrison's History of Medicine, pp. 580-81].

Scarce. The original parts bound two to a volume with the separately dated title-pages present except for the 1876 5. Lieferung (1868, 1869, 1870; 1873]. This book-form edition has separate volume title-pages dated 1869 and 1876, though the added prefatory material to the first volume, which inludes a short index and list of errata, bears a forward by Klebs dated 1876, which seems clearly to establish the date of publication as 1876 -- this being all the sections completed by Klebs himself. First five Lieferungen complete with the 1876 5. Lieferung, which is part II of Geschlechtsorgane. A 6. Lieferung by Schwartze on Gehör-Organ and 7. by Eppinger on Larynx Trachea were added respectively in 1878 and 1880. These were, however labeled in reverse Band II, 1. Abth, 1. Lief.
