Chirurgia is a 1544 Parisian surgical treatise compiled from ancient physicians including Hippocrates, Galen and Oribasius, printed for medical students and practising surgeons. Its woodcuts show numbered bandaging diagrams, with strips of cloth wound around heads, limbs and joints, and a designer might take their clean linework and the rhythm of looping bands.
