Edited by Léveillé, this volume contains two of Scarpa's important works translated into French for the first time: De penitiori ossium structura commentarius (1799) and Memoria chirurgica sui piedi torti congenita dei fanciulli (1803). In addition, Léveillé has included two of his own works on dislocations of the femur and necroses. Léveillé, French physician and army surgeon, became a personal friend of Scarpa's while serving with the French army in Italy. He later translated Scarpa's work on eye diseases into French. This book was once in the personal library of Philibert Joseph Roux (1780-1854). "Among French surgeons of the nineteenth century, Roux was second in importance only to Dupuytren" (see No. 1323 ff.) (Garrison-Morton 4456).
