The work of two German professors, Theodor Meyer-Steineg and Karl Zudhof, takes us through several millennia of medical history, from magic to real science, from ancient times to the "golden" 19th century. Thanks to this book we will learn about surgery in ancient Babylon, visit the medical institutions of Ancient Greece and the first medieval anatomical theaters of Europe, together with Paracelsus we will invent the first "medicines" from chemical compounds, observe the incredible experiments of Frederic Ruysch, witness the first inoculation made by the English physician Edward Jenner against smallpox, and, of course, appreciate the grandiose discoveries of the Russian surgeon Nikolai Pirogov. By the way, this book itself also has a history: it was published at the beginning of the last century, but it is still considered one of the most outstanding and reliable sources in this field. One of its advantages is the abundance of drawings illustrating various moments in the history of the development of medical art, but for the new edition we have prepared an improved range of illustrations, where the classic black-and-white drawings are replaced by full-color reproductions of masterpieces of world painting.
