Erik Waller

Erik Waller

Erik Waller (1875–1955) was a Swedish surgeon and book collector.

With good judgment, and sparing no expense, Dr. Waller collected some 20,000 important books on science and medicine, including 150 incunabula and other early editions. In his last will and testament he left the whole collection to Uppsala University and its library. A catalogue of the collection was with the greatest competence and care compiled by Hans Sallander and published in two volumes, Uppsala 1955. It includes some fifty plates, reproducing selected interesting items from the collection.
