Description
PARE (Ambroise) On Surgery, or OPERA, From all the Works of Mr Ambrosius Paré... Amstelredam: Schiffer, 1649. Folio, contemporary calfskin binding stamped on wooden boards, the ribbed spine slightly rubbed, missing the clasps. The most complete and finest of the Dutch editions of this seminal work on modern medicine. A copy of astonishing freshness, illustrated with over 200 wood-engraved figures, all highly realistic. Surgical instruments, stills and distilling apparatus, anatomical figures, monsters... A very fine book. Bears the ex-libris of Georges Holmes, from a major English private library devoted to the medical sciences.
