‎Kiøbenhaffn, 1625. 4to. (12) pp.‎

‎Originaludgaven af Christian 4. omfattende pestforordning, hvori der beskriver forhold, der skal sikre mod et pestudbrud, og opstiller retningslinjer for, hvordan man skal forholde sig under et pestudbrud, sådan at smittefaren mindskes. ""Christian 4. (født 1577, regent 1588-1648) udstedte den 15. januar 1625 på Københavns Slot en forordning til sikring af landets borgere på baggrund af flere pestepidemier, som havde ramt Danmark i perioden 1599 til 1620. Pesten ramte igen København i foråret 1625 i forbindelse med den danske deltagelse i Trediveårskrigen (1618-1648). De velhavende og lærde flygtede ud af byen, hoffet flyttede til Kolding og almuen blev tilbage i byen. Forordningen var banebrydende på to punkter: epidemier fastlagdes her som et offentligt ansvarsområde forordningen var alment gyldig for hele befolkningen. Loven udstak retningslinjer for, hvordan offentlige personer som bl.a. præster, ligbærere og gravere skulle forholde sig ved håndtering af et offer for pest, blodsot eller anden smitsom sygdom. Ved udbrud skulle sygdomsramte adskilles fra de raske, sikres mad og medicin, begravelserne skulle være hurtige og små i omfang, og den sociale orden skulle opretholdes. Men der var ikke meget, der kunne gøres, og forordningen foreskriver da også, at der flittigt skulle bedes til Guds nåde."" (Danmarkshistorien.dk)‎

‎First edition of Czerny's landmark paper containing the very first account of a breast augmentation, or breast enhancement surgery, by moving a patient's benign fat-based tumor, known as a lipoma, into the breast to correct asymmetry - a surgery which earned him the title of being ""The Father of Plastic Surgery'. ""Czerny's patient was a forty-one-year-old singer who reported swelling and pain in her left breast, which had prompted her to seek medical attention. Czerny discovered that a tumor was causing the symptoms in her breast, which he had attributed to a constant, lingering infection of the breast tissue. After repeated consultations with Czerny and another surgeon, the woman agreed to the removal of her left breast. However, because the singer had very large breasts, the removal of one would result in significant asymmetry of her body. Upon further examination, Czerny discovered that the woman also had a fist sized growth on the right side of her lower back. During the operation, Czerny removed both the tumor in the woman's breast and the tumor on her back, and then used tissue from the tumor on her back to reconstruct her left breast. Half a year later, the woman still had tenderness around the operation site on her breast. By December 1894, about one year later, the patient had reported no more tenderness in her breast, and while her reconstructed breast was well-formed, she did note it was slightly smaller and firmer than her right breast. Czerny published his results in 1895."" (Zheng, Vincenz Czerny) ""He has been called the ""Father of Plastic Surgery"" for performing the first breast reconstruction. In this work, Czerny discusses the removal of a lipoma (benign fat cell tumor) and transferring it to a woman who had previously undergone a mastectomy. Czerny realized that personal appearance, not just organ reconstruction, was important in motivating a surgeon to operate upon a patient. This is a basic tenet still held and practiced today"" (Grolier, The History of Plastic Surgery, no. 55).‎

Dionis remained there until 1680 when he returned to serve as surgeon to the entire royal house. The present work was first published in French in 1690 and soon became a standard work and popular textbook on the subject. It remained in print for over half a century and was even translated into Chinese. The illustrations, limited in number, are rather unimpressive copperplates.""
