EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of medical history - a mandibular reduction procedure depicted in the Surgery Codex in Comments of Apollonius. Created by Cizio, an artist from the 8th century AD, this particular copy dates back to the 9th century and is now preserved for exploration and admiration. The vibrant colors and intricate engravings bring to life a momentous surgical intervention performed on an unknown patient. The focus lies on the patient's head and throat area, where skilled hands are delicately manipulating the mandible. This ancient medical technique aimed at reducing or realigning the jawbone holds great significance in understanding early advancements in medicine. Santiago Ortega's expertly captured photograph allows us to delve into this fascinating aspect of our medical heritage. It serves as a visual portal, transporting us back centuries ago when such procedures were groundbreaking feats of healing. The vertical composition adds depth to the image, emphasizing both precision and detail. As we gaze upon this extraordinary print, we are reminded of how far medicine has come since those ancient times. We can appreciate not only the courage of patients who underwent these procedures but also applaud the ingenuity and skill possessed by early physicians like Apollonius. This print stands as a testament to human curiosity and determination in unraveling mysteries within our own bodies while honoring historical figures whose contributions have paved the way for modern-day medical practices.
