About this work

Description

Notes of lectures on Surgery, containing Books 4 to 7 only. In Italian, by an anonymous student. Lib. IV. Delle ulcere (pp. 1-143). V. Delle malattie veneree (pp. 144-330). VI. Delle malattie delle osse (pp. 331-482). VII. Delle operazione di chirurgia (pp. 483-579). The dating c. 1770 is suggested by the mention on p. 568 of the work of [Raymond de] Vermale, surgeon to the Elector Palatine, whose book 'Observations de chirurgie' was first published 'circa 1763' according to Haller's 'Bibliotheca chirurgica', Vol. II, p. 358: a second edition, Mannheim 1767, is also recorded. Produced in Florence.
