Journals and Serials 197 



Dec. 1949. This was the first post-war issue; it is strange that the pagination of 

 no. 1 begins with p. 97. 



The nature of the serial is expressed by its subtitles. The old series calls itself 

 "latero-medicale" while the new series reads : "revue . . . des lettres et des arts dans 

 leurs rapports avec les sciences et la medecine." It is especially valued for its illus- 

 trative material: reproductions of art objects to serve as source material for history. 

 Its articles are more or less in the easy style of feuilletons on such topics as health 

 and medicine in old and contemporary art, artistic hobbies of physicians, diseases in 

 history and art, numismatics, patron saints, history of balneography, of dentistry, etc.

Thanks to the gracious collaboration of David A. Jonah, Librarian of Brown 

 University, Providence, R. I., vols. 1 to 3 (1947-49) of those Trudy will be 

 analyzed in the 77th Critical Bibliography ( Isis 42 ) , and subsequent volumes in the 

 following bibliographies. 



These volimies contain many memoirs on the history of science in Russia and 

 elsewhere. Vol. 1 has a bibliography of Russian works on the history of science 

 pubfished in 1939-44; that bibliography is continued in the following volumes. 



1938-1945: Alcmeone; revista trimestrale di storia della medicina. Edited by 



Giovanni P. Arcieri; published in New York. 



Vol. 1 was published in 1938-39, and vol. 2 in 1940. The publication as well 

 as the editor met with some difficulties, and, after no. 3 of vol. 2 (July/September) 

 the serial was forced to rest. In 1945, on No. 1 of vol. 7, its title reads: Alcmeone, 

 journal of history of medicine. It was issued as an annex of the first volume of 

 the newly founded Journal of Cardiorespiratory Diseases, a bilingual quarterly.
