This volume contains a collection of the most important pharmaceutical works of Johann Zwelfer (1618-1668, German physician, chemist and pharmacist). He is best known for correcting errors in the formulation of the remedies published in the "Pharmacopoeia Augustana", which corresponds to the "Augsburg Code" (a compilation of many remedies very commonly used by German physicians), and which he published in his "Animadversiones in Pharmacopoeiam Augustanam". He enjoyed great popularity, but was also much belittled by his German colleagues, such as Luc Schroeck.
His "Pharmacopoeia Regia" is an encyclopaedic pharmacopoeia.

Manuscript proposing one of the first directories of homeopathic medicines in the French language through a translation of the work by Georg Adolph Weber: "Systematische Darstellung der reinen Arzneiwirkungen aller bisher geprüften Symptome" published in German in 1831.
The work will not be published in French only in 1833 with a translation by the Swiss homeopath Peschier under the title "Systematic exposition of the pure pathogenetic effects of all the remedies put to date in experience" (Geneva, Cherbuliez, 1833).
Our manuscript uses the same two-part structure as the German edition and should probably precede the French edition. The binding is typical of the 1830s, we are thus at the very beginning of the development of homeopathy in Europe under the impetus of the German school directed by Hannemahn (1755-1843) of whom Weber was a disciple.
It is in Switzerland and in Lyon that homeopathy in French language develops, Count Sébastien Des Guidi creates in 1830 the Homeopathic Society Lyonnaise and opens its consultations, there are 5 or 6 homeopaths in France in 1832 then 25 in 1833, 52 in 1835. (Cf. Bariety, "The beginnings of homeopathy in France", 1969)

Witness to the beginnings of homeopathy in France.

[TERREDE], Réflexions sur une brochure intitulée: dissertation..., [sl, sd]

Meeting of three rare works on the analysis of mineral waters around L'Aigle (Saint-Santin, Gauville, Irai ...).
The mineral waters of Saint-Santin were discovered in 1598 and met with some success in the 17th century, then were forgotten. The progress of 18th century chemistry led two doctors from L'Aigle to dispute their analysis and try to promote their therapeutic interest, but the mineral waters of the country of L'Aigle will again fall into oblivion.
A very good copy.

This work is considered as the bible of the apothecary (Dominique Kassel, La Pharmacie au Grand Siècle, p. 3).

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.
