"Inventum Novum," originally penned by Leopold Auenbrugger in 1761, is the pioneering medical text that introduced the art (and science) of chest percussion—a diagnostic tap dance on the thorax revealing hidden ailments. This 1966 Dawsons of Pall Mall facsimile edition not only reproduces Auenbrugger's groundbreaking work but also enriches it with Corvisart’s French (1808), Forbes’s English (1824), and Ungar’s German (1843) translations, making the text accessible across linguistic hues. Max Neuburger’s insightful biographical account adds context, painting a fuller picture of the man behind the diagnostic tap. A classic that literally changed how doctors listen to the body."

Very mild shelfwear.
