Description

Explore a landmark piece of medical history with The Surgions Mate. This volume reproduces and provides commentary on John Woodall's essential handbook, which served as the standard text for medical treatment at sea during the seventeenth century. As the first instruction for medical service aboard ships, this work represents a major milestone in maritime healthcare. In 1612, the East India Company appointed John Woodall as its first surgeon-general. Drawing on his extensive medical experience gained in various theatres of war, Woodall was tasked with radically reforming medical aid on sailing ships and supervising the education of talented ship surgeons. This edition, part of the Classic Texts in the Sciences series, is edited and annotated by Irmgard Muller to provide context for this foundational text on naval medicine, surgery, and drug therapy.
