Original manuscript in French.
This manuscript reproduces the course given by Jean Astruc (1684-1766), who held the chair of medicine at the Collège royal from 1731.
This teaching on abdominal diseases, from hiccups to hemorrhoids, was never published by Astruc. However, several manuscript copies are known under the title Traité des Maladies du bas ventre.
The medical content of our manuscript is identical to the digitized copies of the BIU Santé (Ms 2116) and the Collège de France (XV 8° 375). Most of the chapter headings are similar, although there are some differences in the structure (some chapters are grouped together, others are separated).
Finally, our copy extends to the question of hemorrhoids, which is absent from the Ms2116 manuscript (present in that of the Collège de France), but omits the question of intestinal worms, which are usually found in this course (present in both aforementioned manuscripts).
On the front flyleaf, the following handwritten ex libris is found: "hic liber attinet ad me Lagilardo" (or Lagilardie?).
