ROUSSEAU, Abbé. 

Secrets et remèdes éprouvez dont les préparations ont été faites au Louvre. 

Paris, Jean Jombert, 1697.
More Details >
400 €

First edition.
Work published posthumously by Rousseau de la Grangerouze, the brother of Abbot Rousseau, who was a Capuchin monk at the Louvre alongside Abbot Tranquille.
It contains the recipes for Baume Tranquille (a powerful sleeping pill based on Henbane, Poppy and Nightshade) and Rousseau's Laudanum, which made the reputation of the Capuchins of the Louvre.
Here he reveals the secret.
Note the experiment noted by Dorbon, which consisted of killing a toad by looking at it... an experiment that once almost turned out to be unfavorable for the abbot, a toad with a glowing red gaze having left him in a state of weakness for several days.

GLASER, Christophle. 

Traité de la Chymie. 

Lyon, Pierre & Benoit Bailly, 1670.

Third augmented edition.
Christophe Glaser (1629-1672?) Is a Swiss doctor and pharmacist who became ordinary apothecary of King Louis XIV. Nicolas Lemery will be trained at Glaser but quickly leaves him not supporting his almost esoteric teaching.
Glaser crosses the history in the poison case. It is most probably in her pharmacy that the Marquise de Brinvilliers obtained the vials of poison. According to his testimony Glaser was sent to Italy by Fouquet to learn the secrets of Italian poisons.
Caillet attributes this book to Moyse Charas, who indeed mentions in the preface to his Thériaque that he published a Treatise on Chemistry under the name of Glaser.

We find in this book, curious preparations such as human skull oil or the distillation of viper flesh.
