Zena Chiara Masud

Edition originale de la traduction française de ce traité du chirurgien anglais John Ranby (1703-1773) exposant une méthode pour soigner les blessures par arme à feu.

On y trouve un compte rendu de quelques cas chirurgicaux dont Ranby fut chargé lorsqu'il servait sous Lord Stair lors de la campagne d'Allemagne jusqu'à la bataille de Dettingen. Il prône l'utilisation de l'écorce du Pérou dans la suppuration consécutive aux blessures par balle, et observe que ses vertus sont accrues si l'on lui administre un élixir de vitriol ; il anticipe ainsi l'utilisation de la quinine. Il donne également un compte rendu détaillé d'une blessure à la jambe subie par le duc de Cumberland et relate des cas de décès par tétanos survenus après des blessures par balle.

Jolie vignette gravée sur la page de titre.

Basane havane, dos lisse orné de fleurons dorés, tranches rouges. Reliure d'époque.

Etat : Mors partiellement fendus, coiffe inférieure arasée, épidermures sur le cuir des plats, frottements. quelques rousseurs.
