Chirurgia magna (complete title: Inventarium sive chirurgia magna), completed in 1363, is a guide of surgery and practical medicine. Its title indicates that it is a reference for surgery (chirurgia). Guy de Chauliac, Pope Clement VI's attending physician, compiled the information from his own field experience and research of historical medical texts. The original text is 465 pages in Latin. This work became one of the most important reference manuals of practical medicine for the next three centuries.
