Haarlem: Harman Kranepol for Hendrick Laurensz, 1627. Hardcover. Very Good+. Folio (292 x 192 mm). Title printed in red and black with printer's device; in-text woodcuts throughout. Title with small loss affecting imprint repaired. Contemporary sprinkled calf gilt (rebacked preserving original spine and endpapers, some minor wear). Provenance: Jean Jacob de Gruytere (signature); Henri-Marcel Van Mock (signature, 17 February 1755); Dr. Leboucq (bookplate). Fourth collected edition in Dutch, a reprint of the 1604 edition, printed by the same printer as the 1615 edition with his device on the title-page. According to Doe, the Dutch editions were far superior to the "very inferior" Latin edition. The Dutch editions used the same woodblocks as the French editions. Paré, one of the most notable surgeons of the European Renaissance, is considered one of the fathers of modern surgery and forensic pathology, and was a pioneer in surgical techniques and battlefield medicine. Doe pp.193-4. Overall an exceptionally nice copy of this classic work.
