"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).

Pierre Petit (1617-1687) was a 17th-century Parisian physician and scholar. In De lacrymis libri tres, he offers a comprehensive study of tears, addressing their physiological nature, causes, and emotional and spiritual significance. The work is structured into three books, each exploring different aspects of tears, from their anatomical origin to their role in expressions of pain, joy, or devotion.
Questions treated by Petitus include why ‘good’ (brave) men are prone to weeping, why women weep more than men and whether animals are also able to weep.

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.

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.
