Conclusion from the translator.

Beloved Reader, I deliver to you here this work as I have translated it word for word, and I do not doubt, and I also know through God's grace, that you will be well pleased. Read with understanding, test, and judge, then the work will praise itself, and you will not encounter adversity: for I have thus explored and experimented with it, in wars and battles, in storms and slaughters, where I have served Emperor and King for more than fourteen or fifteen years: and I have found no fault in it, except through my own negligence. For had I found any fault herein, I would not have translated it at all: and because it is my Profession, it grieved me that such an excellent work should remain hidden. And if, beloved Reader, you appreciate my modest effort, then, God willing, I am ready to labor a little more for your sake shortly, for the benefit of all Surgeons, and for the well-being of all the sick or ailing: And with this, I commend you to Almighty God who will strengthen you in all virtues.
