| Summary | "The Surgery of Ritual Circumcision" by Jacob Snowman is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book serves as a comprehensive guide on the surgical aspects of performing circumcision, particularly within the context of Jewish tradition. It emphasizes the importance of surgical cleanliness and the application of antiseptic techniques to prevent infection during the procedure. The text is structured into several chapters, covering topics such as infection of wounds, antiseptic methods, surgical anatomy, and the technical procedure for performing circumcision. Snowman outlines the potential risks associated with the operation, detailing the preventive measures that mohelim (those who perform circumcision) must take. He provides a thorough explanation of the anatomy involved, step-by-step instructions for the circumcision procedure, and highlights the significance of sterile practices to ensure the safety and health of the infant undergoing the ritual. Overall, this work seeks to blend medical knowledge with traditional practices to educate both lay and professional practitioners involved in this important cultural rite.
