Show moreThe first French work on ophthalmology, drawing on many Greek and Arab sources. First published, in French, in 1585 as Traité des maladies de lóeil. Considered by Garrison & Morton to be the best of Renaissance books on ophthalmology and an epitome of existing knowledge on the subject. This is the second Dutch edition but the first to have been augmented by the well-known Dutch surgeon and ophthalmologist J. Verbrugge, misspelled on the title-page as "Verbrigge". With an engraved frontispiece depicting an ophthalmologist at work. Also with numerous recipes for ophthalmologic problems and with an interesting treatise on dentistry, commonly attributed to Guillemeau although it has also been suggested that Verbrugge might be the author. Jacques Guillemeau (ca. 1520-1613) studied under his father in law, the renowned Ambroise Paré, and became surgeon to the king of France. He was the first to describe the repair of a congenital eyelid coloboma, a full-thickness defect of the eyelid, by freshening the edges and suturing their margins. - A good copy. A rare book by a famous ophthalmologist with an early tract on dentistry. Main Heritage Shelves General RE41 .G85 1678 Book Item-ID: i16828045 BIB-ID: 1508104 Show less
