Chirurgia magna (Latin for "Great [work on] Surgery"), fully titled the Inventarium sive chirurgia magna (Latin for "The Inventory, or the Great [work on] Surgery"), is a guide to surgery and practical medicine completed in 1363. Guy de Chauliac, Pope Clement VI's attending physician, compiled the information from his own field experience and research of historical medical texts. The original text is in Latin and comprises 465 pages. It was translated into various European languages: the version in Middle English has been published.[1] This work became one of the most important reference manuals of practical medicine for the next three centuries.[2] It was translated into Irish by Cormac Mac Duinnshlibhe.[3]
This volume presents a study of the vernacular tradition of Chirurgia magna, one of the most important chirurgical treatises of the Middle Ages. Alongside an edition of the 15th-century Bergamo vernacular translation, based on ms. MA 501, it provides a historical-linguistic analysis and a glossary meant to illustrate the relationship between Latin and the vernacular in the formation of a medical terminology in the 14th and 15th centuries.

Uncommon 16th-century edition of Guy de Chauliac's great compendium of surgical knowledge, completed in 1363 and remaining the standard work on the subject until the 17th century. 'Guy regarded his book as a collection of the best medical ideas of his time ... Of some 3,300 quotations made by Guy, no fewer than 1,400 were from Arab writers and 1,100 from ancient authors ... Galen led the list with 890 different citations, but frequent references were also made to Hippocrates, Aristotle, al-Razi (Rhazes), Abu al-Qasim (Albucasis), Ibn Sina (Avicenna), Ibn Rushd (Averroes), and many other Arab or classical writers' (DSB).

By delivering the goods to the auctioneer for inclusion in his auction sales each seller acknowledges that he/she accepts and agrees to all the conditions.
