EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from "Das Buch der Cirurgia" (The Book of Surgery) by the renowned German surgeon Hieronymus Brunschwig, created in 1497. The illustration, produced by the skilled artist Johann Gruninger, showcases a surgeon in the midst of performing a surgical procedure. With a determined and focused expression, the surgeon gestures towards a shelf filled with various containers and jars, each holding different medicines and drugs. The intricate lettering in blackletter script adorning the title of the book and the labels on the jars adds an elegant and artistic touch to the scene. The surgeon's attire, consisting of a long tunic and a pointed hat, is typical of the mediaeval period. The use of color and the fine details in the illustration provide a glimpse into the rich heritage of medical literature from the fifteenth century. This precious piece of history is now housed in the Walters Art Museum in the United States, offering us a valuable insight into the world of medieval surgery and the profession of physicians during that era.
