Inscribed by Cushing on front flyleaf: "Inscribed for/ [ink stamp: Dr. Leo M. Davidoff]/who will find many of his foot prints herein/Harvey Cushing." Davidoff's engraved bookplate and ink stamp (with his address) on front pastedown. Enclosed in a cloth clamshell box. This is the first edition of Cushing's great work on meningiomas. Cushing was one of the founders of neurological surgery. This copy has been inscribed to Leo Davidoff, Cushing's "assistant in neurological surgery" for the period November 1925 to October 1926. Davidoff was the coauthor with Cushing of one monograph (see Cushing bibliography, no. 12) and at least two papers. "One of the greatest contributors to the development of neuroradiology was the neurosurgeon Leo. N. Davidoff. He was a surgical resident at the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital in 1924, and began his neurological training there the following year. 'Davey' was one of Cushing's favorite disciples, and he is considered among the most skilled. [His] publications helped establish Leo Davidoff as the father of neuroradiology in North America. Davidoff raised the standards of neuroradiographic interpretation. In doing so he created the framework for methods of passing this information to his intellectual descendants." (Greenblatt, History of Neurosurgery, pp. 231-32 [portrait of Davidoff reproduced on p. 231]).…
