DELLA CROCE (Giovanni Andrea). Chirurgiæ libri septem. Venise, J. Zilettum, 1573. In-folio, demi-vélin ancien de réemploi, plats de papier dominoté, tranches mouchetées (Reliure moderne). Édition originale rare et recherchée d'un des plus importants manuels de chirurgie du xvie siècle. Elle est illustrée de près de 500 figures dans le texte gravées sur bois, représentant des instruments chirurgicaux ; deux gravures à pleine page mettent en scène des opérations réalisées sur les champs de bataille. « The present work is Croce's major contribution and is chiefly an historical compilation of the writings of the important authorities from Hippocrates to Abulcasis. Croce's recommendations for wound management are surprisingly modern and are similar to some of those used during the early years of this century. Noteworthy in his Chirurgiæ are the many excellent illustrations that appear throughout the text. Nearly all of the best known and most frequently used surgical instruments are depicted in historical sequence. The various types of arrows, spears, and bullets used in the warfare of his day are also illustrated as well as several scenes of the typical operating room of the sixteenth century. » (Heirs of Hippocrates). Incomplet de 3 feuillets (ff. H1, K1, K2). Mouillures, rousseurs éparses. Heirs of Hippocrates, n°266 – Cushing, C477 – Durling, n°1082 – Wellcome, I, 1666 – Garrison-Morton, n°4850.4.
