Ambroise Paré (1510 - 1590) was a French physician and surgeon, regarded as the father of modern surgery. He was the court surgeon to French King Henry II, Queen Catherine de' Medici and their four children Francis II, Charles IX and Henry III. He is credited with introducing ligation of vessels following amputations. His great merit, in the last years of his life, was that he put in writing most of his surgical experiences, accompanied by the most important events of his life. His writings thus represent an extraordinary legacy both for surgeons, who used his techniques for the following three hundred years, and for historiographers, who were able to use his books as sources for drafts of his biographies.Cf.
