The affiliated library was largely designed by the institute's full professor Karl Sudhoff (1853-1938), the most important medical historian of the 20th century, and bore his name from 1938 in recognition of Sudhoff's historiographical merits. - With stamps of the Institute for the History of Medicine and dat.
