[Gand], s.n., [v. 1869].
More Details >
400 €

Course on Therapeutic Pharmacology given by Nicolas Dumoulin during the years 1868-1869 at the University of Ghent. Nicolas Du Moulin (1827-1890) was a Belgian physician. In 1857, he was appointed to lecture in pharmacology and toxicology at the University of Ghent (Faculty of Medicine). In 1870, he exchanged his pharmacology courses for internal medicine courses. The writer, Cyrille Van Cauwenberghe, left his signature at the head of the book. The course details the different formulations of medications and their therapeutic uses. Noteworthy is a long chapter on rye ergot, used as an abortive substance.

Histoire des maladies du bas ventre.

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?).

Third edition in french, quite rare and printed by Daniel Elzevier (Berhman sup.77)

Descartes considered the human body to be a material machine, directed by a rational soul.
He conceived its functioning based solely on the laws of mechanics, without incorporating metaphysical principles that could not be verified by experiment.
Nearly four centuries later, in the era of transhumanism, this "Traité de l'Homme" has aroused renewed interest in the fields of neuroscience and cognitive science.

Zoonomie, ou lois de la vie organique. 

Gand, P. F. de Goesin-Verhaeghe, 1807-1811.
More Details >
1300 €

First french edition.
Erasmus Darwin, Charles Darwin's grandfather, was a British physician, poet, and naturalist.
In Zoonomy, he proposed a classification of diseases based on the excitability of fibers, a physiological theory of the time.
The work also discussed early ideas about the evolution of species, suggesting that all living things might have descended from a common ancestor, anticipating some of the theories that his grandson would later develop, including that of sexual selection.

Darwin's work is preceded by "l'Analyse raisonnée de la Zoonomie de Darwin" published in 1807.

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.

First french edition.
John Aikin insists on the role of hospitals in the advancement of medical science. First of all, with regard to teaching. Since the founding in 1658 of a clinical school at the Leiden hospital, the use of hospitals as a teaching ground had continued to grow, which Aikin was pleased about and which others sometimes deplored as having disadvantages for the sensitivity, or even the health, of patients. The organization of hospitals as places of teaching and research is the source of our current university hospitals.

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.
