AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

On the birth of infants against nature, through cesarean section, treatment: in which the remaining conscience knots for the mother carrying the fetus and its birth are solidly and accurately addressed; by R. P. Theophile Raynaud... Added is a discussion of the popular error regarding communion for the dead. Lyon: Gabr. Boissat & associates, 1637 (Lyon: printed by Claudius Cayne, 1637). Pages (24), 398, (18). Divided into two parts with the second titled 'Popular error regarding communion for the dead.' A good copy, fresh and intact. Contemporary binding in full blond leather with titles and decorations in gold on the spine: some abrasions. Frontispiece in red and black with a woodcut mark: Florentine lily. Work of the Jesuit Theophile Raynaud in his first edition (1583–1663); it offers a historical and careful analysis of the controversial practice of cesarean delivery. The historical evolution from antiquity to the 17th century is examined, also discussing the religious issues it entails. Raynaud argues that despite significant advances in cesarean procedures and the notable ethical implications involved, it remains a complex and risky intervention, to be performed only in cases of serious urgency and necessity.
