CRUVEILHIER, Vie de Dupuytren, 1841

First edition.
A student from Limousin and successor in Paris to his compatriot Guillaume Dupuytren, Jean Cruveilhier is currently better known by anatomists and anatomopathologists than by surgeons. Guillaume Dupuytren (1771-1835) was immediately admired by his intern Jean Cruveilhier who, developing the ideas of his boss, quickly became a master in anatomopathology. He was the first to devote a biography to his master.
