The book contains the English translation of a pivotal 18th-century Latin treatise on skin diseases by the Austrian surgeon Joseph Jacob Plenck (1738–1807) titled Doctrina de Morbis Cutaneis (Instruction on Cutaneous Diseases). The work is significant because in it Plenck demonstrated the value of categorizing skin diseases by their morphology.
