Beschrijving

Leipzig (Lipsiae), Literis Andreae Martini Schedii, [1717], 4to., unbound, coloured edges, [76] pp., with decorative head and tail pieces, without binding, but otherwise in good condition. In this dissertation Fibigerus (Fiebiger, 1699-?) discusses the study by his stepfather Gumprecht (1678-1743). The work by Gumprecht is the oldest known essay in German about racial hygiene. A later study was written about this work in 1941 by Walter Scheidt.
