[Was Klaus von Mantrei the teacher of Hans von Gersdorff?].
One of the most popular representatives of surgery at the end of the middle ages and the beginning modern era is the Strassburgian surgeon Hans von Gersdorff. Still we do not know very much about his life and his surgical teachers. Only one meister Nicklaus, called Mulartzt, is mentioned as such by the remarks in Gersdorffs 'Feldbuch der Wundarznei', but till today this surgeon could not be identified in more detail. This article now holds the thesis, that meister Nicklaus is probably identical with Klaus von Matrei (Metry), a well-known surgeon of the late 15th century. That cannot be fully proved yet, but a number of coinciding characteristics between the two and some further indications, that are explained, seem so significant, that the thesis can hardly be doubted.
