The uses of provenance evidence: reconstructing the fifteenth-century library of Scheyern Abbey, Bavaria

Al-Zahrawi (known in the Western Hemisphere as Abulcasis) lived from 930 to 1013 A.D.

"Al-Tasrif" included descriptions and illustrations of more than 200 surgical instruments, many of which Abulcasis created himself (i.e., scalpels, curettes, retractors, rods, specula and the surgical needle).

Surgical instruments have come a long way since the time of Abulcasis. Surgical instrumentation executives agree that the long-term viability of this sector depends on lowering manufacturing costs and making simpler surgical instruments that offer less risk.
