Abstract

At the beginning of the seventeenth century, some surgeons were as interested in the classification, prognosis and treatment of burns as their successors are at the close of the twentieth century. We present extracts from our translation of the visionary treatise on Burns by Fabricius Hildanus (Wilhelm Fabry), the "Father of German surgery", and show how some of the present day approaches to burns have their origins almost 400 years ago.
