Moritz Heinrich Romberg (1795-1873) was a German physician and neurologist. He published his classic textbook, Lehrbuch der Nerven - Krankheiten der Menschen (A Manual of the Nervous Diseases of Man), in sections between 1840 and 1846. The work "is generally regarded as the first formal treatise on nervous diseases. He identified the role of proprioception in tabes dorsalis, and became the first neurologist to describe the typical pupillary presentation found in patients with tertiary syphilis. Romberg is perhaps most famous for identifying 'Romberg's sign,' the distinctive sensory ataxia observed in neuropathies of the dorsal columns." - The National Library of Medicine.

The work is dedicated to Alexander von Humboldt.
