Abraham Vater (1684 - 1751) - German anatomist and physician, Abraham Vater was the son of a distinguished physician and was born on the city of Wittenberg (Holland). After the death of his father in 1733 Abraham Vater was appointed to the chair of Anatomy. In 1720 he published the discovery of a biliary diverticulum, the hepatopancreatic ampulla, known today as the Ampulla of Vater or duodenal papilla. Known as an anatomist, Vater also wrote on surgery, gynecology, pharmacology, pathology, chemistry, and botany, making him a complete scientist. In a twist of fate, Vater died in 1751 after being afflicted with jaundice, probably a consequence of biliary blockage of his eponymic ampulla.  22 pages, [2], in 4to. First edition. No binding.
