An Introduction to the History of Dentistry: With Medical & Dental Chronology & Bibliographic Data
This is a reprint of the 1948 edition. It is hardbound, an oversized octavo, and two volumes. The book is still a definitive work on the subject. The first volume covers the history to 1800; the second deals solely with the history of dentistry in America. This work represents an attempt to portray the many steps in the origin, evolution and growth of our knowledge of dentistry from the time of prehistoric man until the 19th century. All aspects of the subject are covered, with chapters including: The Teeth of Prehistoric Man; Ancient Medical Concept of Disease; Mesopotamian and Oriental Dentistry; Ancient Egyptian Medicine and Dentistry; Dentistry of the People of Israel; Dental Art of the Phoenicians; Golden Age of Roman Dentistry; and many more. Weinberger also treats the literature of dentistry, providing an extended bibliography on the subject, as well as a treatment of histories written on the subject. There is also considerable attention given to prominent individuals throughout the history of dentistry.
