    Area of Science:

    • Medical History
    • Pharmacology
    • Biographical Studies

    Background:

    • This study examines marginal notes in a book from Emil von Behring's private library, questioning the role of annotations in historical research.
    • The focus is on Otto Roth's 'Arzneimittel der heutigen Medicin' (1877) to analyze Behring's reading traces.

    Discussion:

    • Marginalia in Behring's copy of Roth's work indicate intensive study of hypnotics, sedatives, and analgesics.
    • These annotations suggest potential therapeutic applications, possibly for others or for Behring himself.

    Key Insights:

    • Marginal notes are not merely peripheral but can provide valuable biographical and research-related details.
    • Behring's engagement with specific drug classes highlights areas of significant interest during his career.

    Outlook:

    • Further comparison with other documents from Behring's personal papers is needed to contextualize these findings.
    • This approach can be applied to other historical figures' libraries to uncover hidden biographical information.
