Histoire des maladies du bas ventre.

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?).

First edition.

At the end of the nineteenth century, a young doctor published a specialized journal focused on the medical news of Limoges and its region.
It is first published under the title "Revue médicale de Limoges" between 1867 and 1874 (stop of publication between October 1869 and August 1872) by a doctor alone.
In 1876, the publication resumed thanks to a collective of doctors of the Society of Medicine and Pharmacy of the Haute-Vienne, in order to maintain and transmit their knowledge and their observations.
It is the beginning of a large-scale specialized journal on a regional scale, which is published under the title "Journal de la Société de Médecine & de Pharmacie de la Haute-Vienne" which became in March 1891 "Le Limousin médical" (its publication stopped in 1914).
These medical records are ran over 47 years.

The 37 volumes of this medical journal belonged to Dr. Henri Boulland, who was General Secretary of the Society of Medicine and Pharmacy of Haute-Vienne; as shown by the signature of the physician on the first pastedowns of the volumes of the years 1893 and 1913, and the handwritten note signed by his hand in the volume of the year 1889.

The handwritten note is the explanation of a case in which Dr. Henri Boulland had to creat the first artificial pneumo-thorax, made in Limoges (September 1888).

At the end is the poem by Q. Rhemnius Palaemon on weights and measures.

Critical work of the Examen de ingenios para las sciencias by Juan Huarte de San Juan, which had been, in 1575, the first modern treatise to study the relationship between psychology and physiology.

First edition.
Guy de La Brosse was Louis XIII's regular physician and founder of the Jardin du Roi (ancestor of the Jardin des Plantes). The last part, entitled "Dessein d'un Jardin Royal pour la culture des plantes médicinales", presents the project for the future Jardin des Plantes.
While the author remains famous for having successfully completed this project, he is also known for having been one of the first French Paracelsians. This work, one of the first great French botanical treatises, detailing the medicinal virtues of plants, their classification and their therapeutic use, is very much inspired by Bacon and Paracelsus. The book illustrates in a very clear way one of the schools of thought of the nascent revolution, that of Paracelsianism.
