Heirs of Hippocrates 632. Raphael Bienvenu Sabatier (1732-1811) was a professor and member of the Academie des Sciences in Paris. His focus was primarily on anatomy and ophthalmology. He was a skilled and accomplished surgeon and his text on operative surgery was well-received. “It was widely adapted as a text and provides excellent coverage of the surgical art of the time. Of bibliographic interest, Heirs notes that the pagination in Waller entry (8373) is incorrect, but the pagination in our copy matches that in Waller exactly, and differs from Heirs: 
Vol I: xlviii, 447 pp.; Vol II: xxxix, 503 pp.; Vol III: xxx, 502 pp, then one leaf (2 pages) of errata.
