Reviews

“Hieronymus Brunschwig pioneered vernacular how-to books about surgery and distillation—two key sites of innovation in early modern European medicine—but until now we’ve lacked up-to-date scholarship about him. Taape’s book gives us a dynamic and inventive Brunschwig, situated in the culture of artisanal Strasbourg, garnering authority from experience and the use of his senses, while staking a claim to better social status for surgeons.” -- Mary Fissell, author of “Pushback: The 2,500-Year Fight to Thwart Women by Restricting Abortion”
