Published by Albin Michel without a stated date (probably around 1920), History Illuminated by Clinical Medicine is one of Dr. Augustin Cabanès's most characteristic works.
Combining history, medicine and psychology, the author examines how medical knowledge can shed light on major historical figures and events. Through this original approach, Cabanès became one of the pioneers of what would later be called psychohistory.
A fascinating work situated at the crossroads of medical science and historical interpretation.

Condition :
Paper, covers and page edges evenly age-toned. Front free endpaper missing. Otherwise a particularly well-preserved copy with a clean and sound interior. 320 pages
Special feature of this copy :
The inside front cover retains the mirror impression of an autograph presentation inscription by Dr. Augustin Cabanès to Dr. Treille.
The inscription itself is no longer present, but its reverse offset remains partially legible, forming an unusual bibliophilic trace of the book's provenance.
About the author :
Dr. Augustin Cabanès (1862-1928) was a physician, historian and popularizer of medical history. He became famous for his attempts to interpret historical events through medicine, physiology and psychology.
Long before psychohistory became an accepted field of study, he sought to explain the actions of famous historical figures through their health, temperament and physical conditions.
