Wound Man, from middle ages surgery textbooks

By Jack Brummet, Anatomy Ed.

Wound Man is an illustration from European surgical texts in the Middle Ages. It shows the various wounds a person might suffer in battle or an accident. The text details treatments for the various injuries. It first appeared in 1492 in Johannes de Ketham's Fasciculus Medicinae and used often in surgical texts up to the seventeenth century.
