Two interesting books today, one in Latin (which I don't read) and one on field medicine, with really cool pictures of performing procedures out in the field! (Most of them aren't gory, promise)



Münster, Sebastian: Compositio horologiorum, in plano, muro, truncis, anulo, concavo, cylindro & variis quadrantibus, cum signorum zodiaci & diversarum horarum inscriptionibus, Basileae 1531 [VD16 M 6651]

No idea what the text says, but its got really cool looking diagrams.


Gersdorff, Hans von: Feldbuch der Wundartzney, Straßburg 1528 [VD16 G 1620]

I thought this was cool because it showed the medical instruments, as well as detailed anatomical diagrams. Its also got some great vignette scenes of them performing field medicine with the battle going on behind them. Nice drawings from a clothing perspective, good attention to detail.
