Abstract

Jean Falcon, an Aragon native, became a famous surgeon at the Faculty of Montpellier. He was a Royal physician, wealthy enough to live a luxurious life and treat influential patients. His lectures were legendary, and his works gave him fame among the surgeons’ class. Of all his manuscripts stands the “Guidon”, which became an anatomical surgeons’ handbook, worthy of reference from the scientific community for centuries.
