Catalogue Note
"The present work is Croce's major contribution and is chiefly an historical compilation of the writings of the important authorities from Hippocrates to Albucasis. Croce's recommendations for wound management are surprisingly modern... Noteworthy in his Chirurgiae are the many excellent illustrations that appear throughout the text" (Eimas, p. 96). It was first published in Latin in 1573.
