De cauteriis libri quinque. In quibus vires, materia, modus, locus, numerus, tempus ponendorum cauteriorum, ex veterum Graecorum, Arabum, Latinorum, necnon neotericorum sententia quàm dilucidè explicantur
A Latin medical treatise on cautery by Thomas Feyens, printed at Louvain in 1601, drawn from ancient Greek, Arab and Latin physicians for surgeons and physicians. The single plate is a dense copperplate page of numbered instruments: cautery irons, fire-stick tips, bands and ribbon-like strips, shown in fine parallel hatching with small figure labels, useful to a designer seeking early modern surgical engraving.
