The surgical career of Berkeley George Andrew Moynihan (Figure 1) spanned the last decade of the nineteenth and the first third of the twentieth century. He gained an international reputation, establishing an especial bond of friendship with the leading American surgeons of his day, and became known as a champion of provincial surgery in Britain. There were many facets to his character, and in view of his multiple interests he could fairly be described as the Renaissance man of British surgery of his time.
