Red speckled textblock top. 435 pp. Ambrose Pare was probably one of the most dramatic of our surgical forebears. a self-educated surgeon of the sixteenth century, Pare learned the fundamentals of his profession on the battlefield and quickly developed a missionary zeal to pass onto other surgeons the fruit of his experiences. He therefore became a prolific writer whose books were widely read and highly regarded as authoritative by those engaged in the healing art. A clean pristine edition.
