Abstract

This article aims to present the contents of the catalogue of the books of the medical library of the Warsaw physician Jan Roch Raum (1854-1918). Based on the analysis of the preserved catalogue, an attempt will be made to grasp the thematic scope of the collected works, which will allow to determine the interests and reading passions of the Warsaw physician. The analysis of the preserved documents will also allow an attempt to determine the size of the collected book, which in turn will make it possible to show Jan Roch Raum's medical library against the background of other medical book collections in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The presented article complements the current state of research and contributes to further in-depth study of the library of the eminent Warsaw surgeon Jan Roch Raum.
