PAVLOV, IVAN. 1849-1936. "Essai de Digression d'un physiologiste dans le domaine de la psychiatrie." Offprint from Archives Internationales de Pharmacodynamie et de Thérapie, Paris: 1930.
8vo. Publisher's printed wrappers, bound with staples, archival card chemise laid into board covers. Fold creases, sunning to wrappers, stains at gutter from staples, lower outside corner bumped.
Provenance: Charles Scott Sherrington, British Neurophysiologist (remnant of forwarding envelope).
PRESENTATION COPY, inscribed at upper right corner of front wrapper "With best greetings, I.P.," together with remnants of the original transmittal envelope, bearing a Soviet Russian stamp and cancellation, addressed in Pavlov's hand to Professor C.S. Sherrington at Oxford University. Pavlov was among the most important physiologists of all time, whose studies were focused mostly upon the digestive system (for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1904), but who is best known for his discovery of classical conditioning. Sherrington was a pioneer of neurophysiology, co-recipient of the 1932 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine, who coined the term "synapse" to describe connections between neurons.
