Dear All:
Anyone might have an idea if the author of this 1917 dissertation in
medicine (see link below), Ludwig Kim, at the Université de
Strasbourg--at that particular time it was the
Kaiser-Wilhelm-Universität--was a Korean?

"Ludwig" sounds much like a name the Benedictine missionaries like to
use: for example, before the Korean War the Vicar General of the
(Benedictine) Diocese of P'yŏngyang was a Father Ludwig Kim. Strasbourg
could mean that Father Joseph Wilhelm (I mentioned him here a week ago)
could have sent him.
That would be the first Korean getting a PhD in Europe, *if* indeed he
was Korean.
Thanks,
Frank
