Annotations...sur toute la chirurgie de M. Gui de Chauliac..suivie de Interprétation des langues...avec figures des instruments chirurgicaux..par Isaac Joubert
A 1632 French medical commentary printed at Rouen by David du Petit Val, annotating Guy de Chauliac's surgical treatise and including an interpretation of terms with illustrated surgical instruments for surgeons and students. The woodcut plates show surgical tools drawn in fine black line on pale paper, with lettered keys beside the objects, including a perforating trepan with its parts, forceps-like pincers, and curved probes or cannulas, which a designer might take as crisp, labelled line drawings of early modern instruments.
