                <text>Caspar Stromayr (fl. 1559) specialised as a cutter of hernias and a coucher of cataracts in 16th century Germany. Written in 1559, the manuscript reproduced here existed primarily as a surgical work dealing with hernia, and included a section on the anatomy and surgery of the eye. It was rediscovered in 1909 and published in this facsimile edition under the direction of surgical historian, Walter von Brunn, in 1925.&#13;
&#13;
The operation of a hernia, which Stromayr describes is extremely similar to a mastectomy of the period (non-operative) in which the surgeon would loop a thread around the maligned area and gradually strangulate it until the strangled area would scar and drop off.&#13;

                <text>Believed to be a fragment of an engraving printed from the original copperplate after it had ceased to be of use for printing engravings. The copper sheet was cut up and the top right corner, used to print the top left corner of the engraving, was turned over and used as the support (in place of the more usual canvas or wood) for an oil painting, a not uncommon fate for engraved copperplates. It had ceased to be of use as the source of engravings because the engravings were made to advertise the services of an English travelling healer, possibly Sir William Read (d. 1715), and after his death there was nothing to advertise. Read was oculist to Queen Anne, travelled around England treating people for cataract, cancer and other diseases, flaunted his services to charity and received a knighthood for his charitable services. If the dates mentioned as (e.g.) "66" mean 1666, then it would be too early for Read and must refer to one of his predecessors, possibly John Russel, physician and oculist near Gray's Inn, Holborn, who issued a similar broadsheet but with woodcuts instead of engravings. Anticlockwise from the top right, the sheet shows part of the royal coat of arms; surgical instruments used by operators such as Read; (top right) details of the cure of the gun wound in the chest of Richard Gray, servant to the Earl of Bedford at Woburn in [16?]66 (the fifth Earl of Bedford became the first Duke of Bedford in 1694); description of the cure of the breast cancer of Widow White of Dorchester in [16?]72; and cure of a rodent disease of the face suffered by Anne Clarke of Bere (possibly Bere Regis in Dorset) in [16?]78&#13;

Lettering&#13;
Christmas day 66: Richard Gray once servant to ye Earle of Bedford. ...&#13;
Lettering note&#13;
Lettering continues: "shott himselfe through ye body with an iron rammer it went in at the stern on the left side and came four handfull out between the fifth and sixth ribs three inches from his back bone on the right side cured by me in six weeks and is now living neare Wooburn Abby 78. In the yeare 72 I cut from the breast of a widdow White aged 71 a cancer the mouth of it was 21 inches wide it was soe large that in twenty years shee had not lifted her hand to her mouth I perfected the cure in six weeks shee is now living and well in 78 at Serne Abby neare Dorchester. In the yeare 78 Ann Clarke aged 53 of Bere had halfe her lip part of her nose and part of her cheeke eaten away with a cancerous humour and a farmers daughter neare Dorchester in a worse condition for shee had lost the sight of one of her eyes both cured without deformity."&#13;
A letter is inscribed on the print in ink and reads: "Dr Sir this is an impression from the back of an old painting on copper &amp; appears to have been part of a large sheet designed to blazon forth the truly marvellous feats of some emperic of the 17th century whom from the locality of the cases I presume to have been the celebrated Doctor Case a Dorsetshire man this impression is taken from the plate cold the work is used twice prints very well &amp; if ... your fathers opinion being taken it should be thought ... to have it for the magazine to work in either whole or in parts with a letter from use it will be at your service the price is a guinea &amp; a half.

This volume contains 202 wood engravings without text, the majority from the 'Dix livres de chirurgie' published in Paris, 1564: they have been carefully painted by hand in gold, silver, and colours&#13;
Copy 1. There are MS. signatures, and on the verso of the first leaf the title of the work as given above. On the second leaf in the same hand is the signature 'N. Rassius Desneus Chyrurgus S. Par'. Binding: late 17th century red goatskin over thin pasteboards, gold tooling with the arms of Nicolas Fouquet (Squirrel rampant) and a crown on the spine. This is typical of a group of bindings from around 1700 produced in imitation of earlier 17th century styles. For more information see Pascal Ract-Madoux and Isabelle de Conihout Reliures françaises du xviie siècle chefs-d'oeuvre du musée condé (Paris, Chantilly, 2002) - see especially no. 44. Bought on 6. 2. 1895, in the Libri Sale at Christie's, by Charles Butler, of Warren Wood, Hatfield, whose book-plate has been pasted inside the cover. Bought for the Wellcome Library at the Sotheby sale of Butler's library, 1. 6. 1911, Lot 1706.</text>
