File Iowa 16 inch Gun EN.svg right thumb Illustration of the barbette in relation to other parts of a battleship turret. A barbette is a protective circular armour feature around a cannon or heavy artillery gun. The name comes from the French language French phrase en barbette referring to the practice of firing a field gun over a parapet defensive wall rather than through an opening embrasure . The former gives better angles of fire but less protection. For example, the Confederate defenders at the Second Battle of Fort McAllister were unable to operate their cannons because the en barbette gun emplacements provided poor protection from Union riflemen outside the fort. ref Trudeau, Noah Andre. Southern Storm Sherman s March to the Sea. New York Harper Collins, 2008 ref Before the complete introduction of the fully enclosed armoured gun turret s, a barbette was a fixed armoured enclosure protecting the gun. The barbette could take the form of a ring of armour around the gun mount over which the guns possibly fitted with a gun shield fired. In warships from the age of the dreadnought forward, the barbette is the non rotating drum beneath the rotating gun turret properly known as the gunhouse and above the armoured deck ship deck on a warship. It forms the protection for the upper ends of the hoists that lift shell projectile shells and their propelling charges e.g. cordite from the magazines below.

After finishing his medicine studies at Leiden University in 1645, he practised both medicine and surgery in Amsterdam. He was a determined enemy of bleeding in all cases, relying chiefly on sudorific s. He proposed the operation of gastrostomy in cases of intussusception of the bowels, and introduced some improvements in surgical instruments. He wrote many works, which have been frequently reprinted, and he was held as a high authority in his day. His writings, however, contain little that is original, but they display much learning and acquaintance with his profession. They are in Dutch and Latin, and have been collected in Opera omnia medica et chirurgica Amsterdam, 1672, 8 volumes , which was translated in Italian, German, French, and English.
