Surgery PARÉ (Ambroise) The Works of Ambroise Paré. Tenth edition revised and corrected in several places... Lyon, Borde, 1641. In folio : 11f. (including a portrait on wood of the author), 854pp. (table), numerous figures on wood in the text (Anatomy, operations, dissections, autopsies, deformities, fracture reductions, human and marine monsters, real and fabulous animals, surgical instruments, prostheses and assistance devices, etc.). Minor pagination errors. Minor pitting, soiling and small light rings in places. Contemporary foxing, spine ribbed, handwritten title on spine, missing headpieces, minor skinning on spine, edges, and boards. The status of this work is quite exceptional in the medical production of the 16th century, both by the trajectory of its author and by the scientific ambition it manifests. The OEuvres de Paré was a true best-seller in surgical literature from the end of the 16th to the end of the 17th century. The first edition dates back to 1575. Provenance: Manuscript bookplate Arnulphi d'Aumont (August 1744).
