• Volumen gynaeciorum, hoc est, de mulierum tum aliis, tum gravidarum, parientium puerperarum affectibus et morbis. Basilea, per T. Guarinum, 1566.
  The first encyclopaedia of gynaecology and obstetrics, originally conceived by Conrad Gesner (1516-1565), who collected material for the purpose. Wolff, Gesner's literary executor, added material and published the collection one year after Gesner's death.

  Referring to a work by François Rousset (1535-1590?), an advocate of cesarian section:
  
• Traitte nouveau de l'hysterotomotokie, ou enfantement césarien, qui est extraction de l'enfant par incision latérale du ventre et matrice de la femme grosse etc. Paris : Denys du Val, 1581.
  Rousset records 15 successful Caesarean sections carried out by various persons during the preceding 80 years.

  Basilea, S. Henric Petri, 1592. Frankfurt am Main : Matthäus Becker, 1605.

  The 131 anatomical engravings are taken from the anatomies of Andreas Vesalius (1514-1564), Juan Valverde de Amusco (1525-1588), Bartolomeo Eustachi (1510-1574), Volcher Coiter (1534-1576) and other anatomists. William Harvey (1578-1657) chose this work as the basis for his Lumleian Lectures to London's College of Physicians in 1616. The frontspiece of the 1605 Frankfurt edition reads: Caspari Bauhini Basileensis

• Pinax theatri botanica. 1623. [Illustrated Exposition of Plants]
  A landmark of botanical history. In this work Bauhin described some 6 000 species and classified them, the fruit of 40 years of work. In Pinax Bauhin discarded the old alphabetical manner of enumeration and stated that any sound method of classification must be based on affinities. It is noteworthy for including a compilation of all of the names by which a given plant was known. He introduced many names of genera that were later adopted by Linnaeus, and remain in use.
