Alonso López de Hinojosos, Suma y recopilación de cirugía (Mexico, 1578)

A surgical manual printed at Mexico City by Antonio Ricardo in 1578, written by the surgeon and nurse of the hospital for Indians of that city — a man with no medical degree, who signed himself by his hospital post. Its author had spent fourteen years at the Hospital Real de indios and had opened bodies there with the protomédico Francisco Hernández during the epidemic of 1576, looking for the cause of a disease that was emptying New Spain.
