Henri Mondeville

Henri de Mondeville was a pioneering French surgeon in the late 13th and early 14th centuries, considered one of the first to write systematic medical texts. He combined practical surgical techniques with medical theory, emphasizing the importance of anatomy and patient care. Mondeville promoted the use of antiseptic methods, and his work influenced the development of medieval surgery. His writings helped bridge the gap between classical medical knowledge and practical surgery, laying groundwork for future advancements in surgical practices and medical ethics.
