Cheiroplotheke, seu... Armamentarium chirurgicum XLIII tabulis... exornatum. Opus posthumum...
Cheiroplotheke, a posthumous surgical instrument atlas by Johannes Scultetus, published at The Hague by A. Vlacq in 1656, written for surgeons and students of surgery. Its numbered plates show dissected limbs, bandaging and splinting techniques, and rows of blades, probes and forceps drawn in fine engraved hatching with plain labels, offering a designer clear models for diagrammatic line work and sequential instructional layouts.
