Title
Dis ist das Buch der Cirurgia
Description
This book was written by Hieronymus Brunschwig, a 15th-century surgeon noted for his methods for treating gunshot wounds. While not the most famous of his works, Dis ist das Buch der Cirurgia is the first printed German text on general practices for independent surgeons—and includes one of the earliest detailed descriptions of treating gunshot wounds. This facsimile contains color illustrations, with limited publication notes.
