Specialist Notes
Jean Tagault was one of the most prominent surgeons in France in the first decades of the 16th century. This treatise on Surgery went through numerous reprints and became a foundational text for medical students, with its first edition dating back to 1543. It addresses a wide range of topics including tumors, wounds, ulcers, fractures, dislocations, and describes in detail the surgical instruments of the time.
