Manuscript proposing one of the first directories of homeopathic medicines in the French language through a translation of the work by Georg Adolph Weber: "Systematische Darstellung der reinen Arzneiwirkungen aller bisher geprüften Symptome" published in German in 1831.
The work will not be published in French only in 1833 with a translation by the Swiss homeopath Peschier under the title "Systematic exposition of the pure pathogenetic effects of all the remedies put to date in experience" (Geneva, Cherbuliez, 1833).
Our manuscript uses the same two-part structure as the German edition and should probably precede the French edition. The binding is typical of the 1830s, we are thus at the very beginning of the development of homeopathy in Europe under the impetus of the German school directed by Hannemahn (1755-1843) of whom Weber was a disciple.
It is in Switzerland and in Lyon that homeopathy in French language develops, Count Sébastien Des Guidi creates in 1830 the Homeopathic Society Lyonnaise and opens its consultations, there are 5 or 6 homeopaths in France in 1832 then 25 in 1833, 52 in 1835. (Cf. Bariety, "The beginnings of homeopathy in France", 1969)

Witness to the beginnings of homeopathy in France.

Histoire des maladies du bas ventre. 

s.l., s.n., [v. 1740].

1000 €

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 french edition.
Fontana relates numerous experiments in which he injects venoms and poisons into animals (rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, etc.). The majority of the work is devoted to a systematic study of viper venom but it also addresses plant poisons, such as Ticunas (probably Curare) reported on poisoned arrows from the Amazon. He is thus one of the first to approach toxicology experimentally.

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).

Edition by Jean de Tournes.
De Medicina is the oldest Western medical document after the Hippocratic writings. Written about 30 CE, it remains the greatest medical treatise from ancient Rome, and the first Western history of medicine.
It is an extremely interesting history of medicine and surgery, including the symptoms and treatment of disease as well as descriptions of plastic surgery, goiter, tonsillectomy, treatment of fractures, and dental procedures. (Heirs of Hippocrates).

The edition is followed by the poem De medicina (composed of 1115 hexameter lines) with precepts borrowed from Pliny and Dioscorides on the art of healing) by Quintus Serenus Sammonicus, a Latin author assassinated under the orders of Caracalla in 212. At the end is the poem by Q. Rhemnius Palaemon on weights and measures.

The entire work was annotated at the time in the margins in fine 16th-century handwriting. On almost every page, passages are underlined and.

First edition.
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.
Guibelet offers an in-depth analysis and a refutation of some of Huarte's theses, thus entering into the intellectual debates of the time on the nature of intelligence and human aptitudes. This text constitutes a valuable contribution to the history of ideas and to the study of the reception of psychological and medical theories at the dawn of the 17th century.
Title page in the name of the Heuquevilles with whom Soly (who appears on the privilege) shared the edition.

First edition.
Jacques Chaillou, a physician from Angers, was one of the first to introduce Harvey's discoveries on blood circulation in France. Jacques Chaillou began his medical studies in Angers in the 1650s, a time when medical discoveries abounded: in 1628, William Harvey published his Exercitatio Anatomica de Motu Cordis et Sanguinis in animalibus in Frankfurt, often considered the first work to accurately describe blood circulation. It was in this context that Jacques Chaillou, before obtaining his doctorate, went to Paris and then Bordeaux to learn about the new discoveries, where he became a professor in 1663. He returned some time later to settle in Angers. In 1664, he published his first treatise on the question of sanguinification, which is reproduced here at the beginning of our edition, and he continued his work on blood, which he described in his Recherches.
