====================
Gesner edited, compiled, and contributed a work of his own to this extensive collection of surgical works by Biondo, Bolognini, Dondi, Ferri, Galen, Houllier, Langius, Maggi, Santo, Oribasius, and Tagault, among others.
"The list of surgical writers and their works which Gesner appended to this book is one of the earliest bibliographies of surgery" (Garrison-Morton 5562).
