First french edition published juste after the first latin edition.
The French translation is by Jacques Jean Bruhier who is sometimes credited as the sole author of the book.
Book that will terrify the whole of Europe at the idea that we could be buried still alive and which will come for some to give an explanation to the phenomena of vampirism.
More than that, the exposure of these intermediate cases between life and death opens the way to a new discipline of medicine.

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?).

The first and only edition, a rare find, of one of the oldest monographs on breast cancer.
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.
