title: [Franz Joseph Gall, Angelo Soliman and the busts of Africans in the Rollettmuseum at Baden near Vienna].
abstract: It is Franz Joseph Gall's merit that we may find a bust of the Viennese African Angelo Soliman together with seven busts of other Africans in the Rollettmuseum at Baden near Vienna. Likewise, by contributing a short information, Gall indirectly stimulated the generation of the first biography on Angelo Soliman. In order to encourage interdisciplinary research on Gall's collection in the field of biological anthropology and medicine once more, the following article will recapitulate earlier results and introduce some new aspects into discussion.
