AbstractFelix Wurtz, a surgeon in Basel and Zurich, wrote a book on pediatrics, The Childrens Book, which was first published (after his death) in 1612. It is the first known book in western Europe to deal with pediatrics and surgery. The book discusses issues dealing with the care of children, also addressing problems in pediatric surgery, primarily congenital and acquired orthopedic malformations. The book, and the contribution of its writer to pediatric surgery, are reviewed. The accuracy of the first English language translation is also evaluated.
