Guy de Chauliac's Chirurgia "is one of the landmarks in the history of surgery. With its 3,300 references to more than one hundred authors, including numerous quotations from Avicenna, Albucasis, Rhazes, Haly Abbas, Hippocrates, and Galen, it represented the most complete compilation of surgical material prepared to that date, and it remained authoritative in Western medicine until the seventeenth century. The book's seven sections cover a broad range of subjects, from cancers to wounds and fractures to dentistry. Its preface (Capitulum singulare) contains both a brief history of medicine and Guy's essay on what all surgeons should know about the liberal arts, diet, surgical instruments, and operating methods. Guy himself regarded his book as a compendium of the best medical ideas of his time, stating that only a few things were original with him, yet he often used his own experiences as a basis for criticism of the classical Greek and Arabic medical writings." (Grolier Medicine p.33).
Educated at Montpellier, Toulouse, Paris and Bologna, Guy de Chauliac served as physician to three popes at Avignon. His work marks an advancement in the treatment of cataracts and hernias and advocates the best classical treatment for fractures. During the Black Death of 1348 Guy remained at his post, and survived to describe the plague.
The Chirurgia, written ca. 1363, circulated widely in manuscript during the 14th and 15th centuries. Versions in Latin, French, English, Italian, Provenal, Dutch and Hebrew attest to its popularity. Although composed in Latin, the work was first printed in French translation (Lyons, 1478), then in Italian (Venice, 1480), Catalan (----, 1492) and Spanish (----, 1493). The present edition is the first in Latin. It also includes the works of a number of Guy's medieval precedessors, earlier writers on surgery, several of whom he mentions, and criticizes. The Latin version of the Chirurgia and this collection were reprinted a number of times in the 16th century.
According to BMC, the third, fourth and fifth lines on the title page of the present edition, giving the names of the additional authors, were stamped in after the first two lines had been printed.
