A 1617 Latin surgical treatise on gangrene by Wilhelm Fabricius Hildanus, a Bernese city physician and surgeon, printed at Oppenheim for medical readers. Its woodcut pictures show surgical instruments in plain outline, with hatched and cross-hatched shading on bare backgrounds, useful to a designer wanting old-fashioned technical line drawing.
