- Resum
- This chapter follows a chronological path from the Hippocratic Corpus to the second half of the eighteenth century, focusing on how surgical knowledge was recorded, transmitted, and transformed through writing. In Antiquity, there were effectively no ‘surgeons', but ‘surgery' was one of the things iatroi or medici could do, and write about. In the Middle Ages, surgeons became visible as a distinct occupational group, but only some within this group were connected to academic settings. It was these men who created books entitled Surgery, and, in so doing promoted a vision of their domain which demoted its craft aspects. Surgery can be said to have become ‘modern' when craft-surgery disappeared in the eighteenth century, and the term ‘surgeon' came to denote a formally educated practitioner.
