De Imperio Solis ac Lunae in corpora Humana et Morbis inde oriundis. 

Londres, Raphael Smith, 1704.

First edition.
Richard Mead (1673-1754), a physician and friend of Isaac Newton, attempts in this book to demonstrate the influence of gravitational forces on human health. Mesmer drew heavily on this book to write his doctoral thesis in 1766 (On the Influence of the Planets on the Human Body). The term "animal gravitation," taken from Mead, was later changed by Mesmer to "animal magnetism.".

Magni Hippocratis medicorum omnium facile principis opera omnia quae extant. 

Francofurdi, Andrea Wecheli, 1595.
More Details >
1800 €

First edition of this important translation from greek to latin of the Hippocratic corpus.
Remains the reference until its replacement by the French edition of Littre [1839-1861].

The Hippocrates works are a set of sixty text written between 450 and 350 bc.
During the sixteenth century, scholars have gradually given rise to the Hippocratic Corpus in Latin, which was current until its replacement by the French edition of Littre [1839-1861].

The editions that enabled this achievement are the first editions in Latin (1525 in Rome) and Greek (1526, Aldus), which led to the discovery of manuscripts hitherto virtually unknown.
Then came the Basel editions of 1538 and 1546 (Froben) that led to the systematic correction of many first editions.
Finally, in 1595, the doctor of Metz Anuce Foes (1528-1595) printed this important bilingual edition that became the reference until the Littré works 250 years later.

Fresh copy of this rare and important edition of the works of Hippocrate.

Dissertation sur la Digestion de l'Estomach, touchant l'humeur acide. 

Paris, François Muguet, 1675.
More Details >
1800 €

First edition of this scarce work of gastroenterology.
Not in the usual bibliographies (Osler, Heirs, Waller, Cole, Morton, Dezeimeris, ......).
Portal in his dictionary of anatomy (1770) mentions an edition of 1676. He says of this work that it is not very interesting, Galatheau following the system of Willis on digestion.

Traces of this work can also be found in the correspondence of Pierre Bayle:
"There is a doctor from Bourdeaux named Mr Galatheau who I was told was from Religion, who had a Treatise on Digestion printed foods where he fights the opinion of the moderns who want it to be done by an acid humor whose sharp parts do what strong water produces in metals."

Neither his peers nor posterity have been kind to Pierre de Galatheau, however we note on page 13 of his treatise that he uses a microscope to observe the mucous membrane of the stomach:
"the pores of this part are larger and more dilated than the others, as the microscope shows..."
A completely innovative process since Leeuwenhoek's first microscopic observations were only presented to the Royal Society in 1673.

The author analyzes the causes of breast cancer, including "a soft and idle life" that is particularly common among nuns, and the indecency of contemporary clothing, which no longer protects breasts from repeated accidents that can cause cancer.

Traité des maladies des enfans.

Original manuscript in French.
This anonymous manuscript reproduces the course given by Jean Astruc (1684 -1766), the holder of the chair of medicine at the Collège royal from 1731.
The teaching of the Montpellier doctor was very successful. Astruc dictated his courses and on several occasions these texts were published without the author's name and, poorly copied, distorted the thinking of the learned doctor. I
t was only at the end of his life that Astruc considered it necessary to write down his courses to avoid forgeries.
However, his teaching on children's diseases was never published. Only a "pirate" edition had appeared in English in 1746.
Our course reproduces the structure of the few manuscript copies that we know of, notably that of the Kottek manuscript of 1747, which had been the subject of a modern facsimile (Stalkine, 1980).
However, we will note some differences in the text; for example, in our manuscript, Astruc proposes the end of the first age of childhood at two and a half years (instead of three and a half years in the Kottek manuscript).

Hermaphrodite. Two colour-printed mezzotint plates. 

[Paris], s.n., [1749].
More Details >
8000 €

Set of two colour-printed mezzotint depicting a hermaphrodite. Among one of the most spectacular prints in Gautier d'Agoty's work.

The two plates (1. side view, 2. front view) were originally intended to accompany a one-page booklet entitled: "Hermaphrodite. Dissertation au sujet de la fameuse hermaphrodite qui a paru aux yeux du public depuis environ trois mois, faite par le sieur Mertrud, chirurgien du Roi," Paris, Berryer éditeur, 1749.

These two large color engraved plates depict the sexual organs of the hermaphrodite Michel Anne Drouart, whose characteristics, examined by various scholars, were the subject of much controversy in Paris, then in England and Italy, where Drouart made several tours: "The subject is alive, aged 16... His father and mother raised him as a girl."

The second plate, not mentioned by the bibliographers, is extremely rare. It is absent from copies of the BIUS, and major Anglo-Saxon specialist libraries. (A copy can be found in Sweden at the Hagströmer Library. An other one sold by Christies, Paris, 2016).

Rare copy of the deluxe edition of the second edition with the atlas.
It's the first medical book illustrated with photographs of living subjects.
The celebrated work by Duchenne de Boulogne on facial expressions induced by electrification.
Duchenne de Boulogne’s research was intended both for anatomists and scientists (Darwin would later use Duchenne’s findings in his The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals) and for artists, who, as he said, “have not always been able to find the fundamental lines” of an expressive face.
Using his electrodes and induction coil, Duchenne assigned the precise role of each facial muscle in animating the human face.
He thus aimed to “make known, through electro-physiological analysis and with the help of photography, the art of accurately painting the expressive lines of the human face—a kind of orthography of physiognomy in motion” (from the preface).

A copy from the deluxe edition, issued by the publisher, accompanied by its atlas; the regular edition contained only the frontispiece and the nine plates in the text volume.
Our copy is complete with its atlas of 82 additional plates (the last eleven "aesthetic" plates are often missing).

The atlas reproduces the original photographs, whose portraits had been extracted to create the nine synoptic plates, now printed in large format on albumen paper and mounted.
The electrically induced emotions of the six models literally leap off the page.

The first series of experimental photographs (plates 3–73), featuring an old cobbler with a wrinkled face, was deemed too coarse when Duchenne first presented it. He was persuaded to create a second series (plates 74–84) showing young women in various poses—ecstatic to imitate Saint Teresa or cruel to mimic Lady Macbeth.
“Striving to satisfy those with a sense of beauty, and wishing to please while instructing, I have undertaken some new electrophysiological studies in which, as far as possible, I hope to meet the principal requirements of aesthetics: beauty of form, combined with the truth of facial expression, attitude, and gesture.” (p. 133)
He called this part of his work the aesthetic section.
Perhaps unconvinced of its scientific value, he did not always distribute these 11 “aesthetic” photographs with the atlas; for example, the copies sent to Darwin and Charcot stop at plate 73.
The publisher himself only anounced on the title page 74 plates. Copies with plates 74 to 84 are rare.

Duchenne stands at the crossroads of three recent scientific revolutions (electrical induction, physiology, and photography), yet here he has composed one of the true photographic masterpieces of the 19th century.
