Description
-
Hans von Gersdorff wrote Feldbuch der Wundarzney (which translates to ‘Field book of Surgery’) during his 40 year career as a military surgeon. In that time, he allegedly performed nearly 200 amputations. The book details practical instructions in the care and treatment of the wounded, with woodcuts attributed to Hans Wechtlin. These illustrations remain notable, including the often-reproduced Der verwundete Mann (‘The Wounded Man’)—originally published in The Fasciculus Medicinae. This facsimile is printed in black in white, with limited publishing notes.
