Ophthalmologia: Optica Et VISIO in Nummis

By J.M. Galst

Published jointly by J.-P. Wayenborgh Verlag and the ANS, Ophthalmologia, Optica et Viso in Nummis catalogues roughly 1,700 objects in 14 chapters each of which focuses on a discrete topic, e.g., ophthalmologists, ophthalmological congresses, the blind (and their rehabilitation), optical instruments (including spectacles), and the eye as a symbol. The book also serves to situate the objects within the larger historical context of the ophthalmological and optical disciplines.
