The text of this MS. seems to be a more complete copy of notes of lectures on surgery by G. Sisco, who died in 1730, but his course was continued by his successor to the chair of surgery, Antonio Trasmondi, who had been nominated by Pope Pius VIII, and had also been physician to both Popes Pius VII and Pius VIII.
