Then, when the first trade catalogs of medical and surgical instruments appeared, they often omitted the date of their publications. There are several indications that can be used to determine the approximate year of publication of catalogs, which are discussed in this article.
To find the right path in the ocean of historical books, we can turn to some catalogs of the most important examples of historical literature in medicine. The most respected for their thoroughness and historical value are seminal resources for researchers looking for rare and important medical books of the past.
