The Whole Course of Chirurgerie – Peter Lowe (Originally 1597)

Leather bound and beautifully gilt embossed all edges richly gilt from the Classics of Medicine Library 1981.

Originally published in 1597 an edition from which this fine facsimile is produced along with engravings taken from the second edition of 1612. Peter Lowe of Scottish decent practiced in Paris at the time of writing this monumental work being appointed to the King of France. His dedication is to James the VI of Scotland.

The engravings are enlightening – instruments for cutting off fingers and toes, siring or squirt for the care of hollow wounds, instruments to cut and knit the fistula in the fundament, portraiture of a man Rim-burst (ouch!)
