"Lehmann was a discipline builder: he wrote the first recognizably modern textbook, which was far more effective in defining the discipline of physiological chemistry than were Liebig's idiosyncratic works"(Robert E. Kohler, From medical chemistry to biochemistry : the making of a biomedical discipline (Cambridge 1982), p. 19).
A reprint edition translated into English appeared in 2009.
