These articles represent a smáli cross section of Dr. Hermann Pinkus' work. They include many of the papers which he considered important contributions to dermatology. In them we can see the beginnings of concepts, which continue to be discussed in dermatology today and often represent fundamental knowled-ge in the study of dermatology. By presenting them it is hoped that the reader not only gains an apprecia-tion for one man's work, but in a broader sense, gains an appreciation for the work of many of the pione-ers in dermatology, which can only be gained by reviewing their originál articles.
