The title page of the Fieldbook

Hans von Gersdorff, also known as Schyl-Hans, (* approx. 1455; † 1529 in Strasbourg) was a well-known surgeon who published the Feldbuch der Wundarzney ("Field book of surgery") in 1517 (published by Johannes Schott in Strasbourg[1]), with instructions for procedures such as amputation. The book was illustrated with wood cut works attributed to Hans Wechtlin.[2]
