First edition of the surgical part of the Paracelsus edition by Huser. "The autographs of the writings of Paracelsus were completely lost. Fortunately, Johannes Huser (ca. 1545-1600/1601) had early collected a large number of autographs and copies of these works... Huser had taken great care to change the original wording as little as possible, apart from modernising the language. We can therefore assume that with this edition we have a very reliable text at our disposal" (Zurich Paracelsus Project, paracelsus-huser-edition.html). - Some browning throughout. Underscorings and marginal annotations in places, insignificant worming to outer margin up to p. 285, title with name crossed out in upper margin and 3 marginal chips, one with minor loss to woodcut border. Bound in modern vellum from an old manuscript.
