Inuentario ouer Collectorio uniuersalissimo de tutte le cose notabele delli antiquissimi medici Hebrei, Greci, Latini, & Arabi, spectante alla arte cyrugical, dalla summita della testa alle piante dei piedi

Notes:
Celebre chirurgo francese nato alla fine del sec.XIII e morto nel 1368. “The present edition is representative of the scores of editions of the work. Guy was a reactionary, however, not following some of the reasonable principles of several of his predecessors, and his persistence in the meddlesome surgery of cautery, salves, and plasters, retarded surgery for at least two centuries because of his great authority. This exhaustive treatise tells the personal and educational requirements of a physician; discusses pathology, medical treatment, surgery, and drug therapeutics; and altogether shows a spirit of aggressiveness which made Guy de Chauliac respected but not particularly loved."
