About the author

Otto Dornblüth was a German physician, born on March 19, 1860, in Rostock and died on December 29, 1922, in Wiesbaden. He is chiefly known as the editor of a medical dictionary, a work that later continued under a new editor and became widely known as the Pschyrembel.

That legacy makes him especially notable in the history of medical reference publishing. Rather than being remembered mainly for one discovery or a literary career, he is associated with the practical side of medicine: helping organize and explain specialist terms in a form that doctors could use.
