Edited by Joseph François Malgaigne (see No. 1685 ff.), this three-volume set is the definitive edition of Paré's works. A comprehensive work, it contains a lengthy historical introduction to the development and state of surgery between the sixth and sixteenth centuries, an extensive biography and bibliography of Paré, as well as his collected writings. Malgaigne was an accomplished French surgeon and author and was described by John Shaw Billings as "the greatest surgical historian and critic whom the world has yet seen" (Fielding H. Garrison, An introduction to the history of medicine. 4th ed. Philadelphia, 1929. p. 491).
