Première édition, peu courante, de cet important best-seller de chirurgie opératoire du XIXe siècle. "One of the most respected scholars in the history of medicine, Malgaigne was equally skillful as surgeon, anatomist, and surgical historian. Written on a wide variety of subjects, his works reflect the classical training and expository skills which he nurtured throughout his life. His influence on surgery is evidenced by the great number of surgical and anatomical terms associated with his name, and by the fact that many of his descriptions and techniques remain virtually unchallenged today. Malgaigne's editions of the works of Paré (see No. 273) and his numerous other works on medical history attest to his skill as an historian. This comprehensive work, Malgaigne's first important surgical treatise, covers a variety of topics including instruments and their proper use, cautery and ligatures, operative techniques of European and American surgeons, several gynecological and dental procedures, and amputations." (Heirs of hippocrates 1685) "Malgaigne was a brilliant lecturer, notable also as a historian of medieval surgery. His Manuel was an important work on operative surgery, and was translated into English, German, Italian, and Arabic." (G&M 5591).
