LA BROSSE, Guy (de). 

De la nature, vertu, et utilité des plantes. 

Paris, Rollin Baragnes, 1628.
More Details >
700 €

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.

Traite de la Lithotomie ou l'Extraction de la Pierre hors de la vessie.

More Details >
600 €

"Tolet, lithotomist at l'Hôpital de la Charité in Paris, first published this work in 1682. After many editions, this book remains as a classic contribution to the subject.[...] In Tolet's day lithotomy was one of the major and most dangerous of operations. Explicit directions are given for the operation in children as well as adults of both sexes. Particularly stressed is the need for careful restraint of the patient during surgery using strong assistants, straps, scarves, or cloths. The lesser and greater lateral perineal operations in men and women are described and illustrated. Among the many causes of the stone, the author named unleavened bread, waterfowl, curds, pap, old cheese, hard eggs, unripe fruits, the feet or legs of beef or pork, salted or spiced meats, and medicines which dehydrate the body. The plates depicted instruments, positioning of the patient, the use of the curved metal catheter, the making of the incision, and use of extracting clamps." (Heirs of Hippocrate).
The edition is illustrated with 18 plates drawn and engraved by Lalouette (instruments, operating positions, stones, etc.) and a portrait of Tolet by Maillet.
"François TOLLET (1647-1724) surgeon of King Louis XIV left a very didactic treatise on lithotomy. He helped to bring bladder size into a" regulated "surgery." (History of urology by the Association française d'urologie).

Two works in first edition by the same author in one volume:

I - FUSTER, Changes in the climate of France, history of its meteorological revolutions, Paris, Capelle, 1845

"The climate of France has changed and is changing"
Quite fascinating historiographical work on the French climate since the Gauls until the XIXth century.
One of the final chapters entitled "The action of meteorological phenomena and the human industry as causes of changes in our climate" sounds like a strange echo 150 years before the IPCC reports.

II- FUSTER, Diseases of France in their relationships with the seasons, or medical and meteorological history of France, Paris, Dufart, 1840

"The subject of this book is still new: no one has dealt with the diseases of France; no one has considered these diseases in their relationship with the seasons. But it is between us something more than "a new application of principles already known; it is, above all, the search for these principles. How do the seasons work; determine the diseases in correspondence with their action? Here is the problem first. The history of the seasons and diseases of France will follow and must follow the solution of these two questions. "

While the seasonality of viral infections is always a concern.
