Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Folio with brown cloth boards and black titling on the spine. Comes with a black slipcase. Reproduction from the first English edition in 1634, translated from Latin originally by Thomas Johnson. A fascinating collection of writings from Ambroise Pare, a French barber-surgeon who is considered one of the fathers of surgery and modern forensic pathology, as well a pioneer in battlefield medicine, anatomy, and inventor of medical equipment - such as the "Bec de Corbeau" a precursor to the modern day hemostats. The condition of the book is Very Good (binding tight despite the size; little to no shelf wear; little to no interior damage; some pages remain uncut towards the back of the book; the titling on the spine has some light fading, notably a the tail of the spine). The condition of the slipcase is Good+ (edges have been reinforced with tape; scuffing revealing the cardboard underneath at the top edges of the case; otherwise sturdy). 1173+30pgs. This is a rather heavy text and would likely require extra shipping charges.
