Les oeuvres Pharmaceutiques. 

Lyon, Pierre Rigaud, 1624.
More Details >
Sold

Scarce first edition in french, translated from latin by Louis de Serres.
This work is considered as the bible of the apothecary (Dominique Kassel, La Pharmacie au Grand Siècle, p. 3).
Topics such as ethics and tooling tips are treated with a precision that has never been achieved.
That's why Renou's book, after having served as an ABC for several generations of pharmacists, has now become a valuable source of information for the history of pharmacy.

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.

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.

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.

Traité de Botanique sur Estampes du Traité historique des Plantes de Buchoz classées suivant Tournefort & Linné. 

[Nancy], [Buc'Hoz], [1762-1770].
More Details >
7000 €

Original manuscript of an unpublished botanical treatise by a learned scholar from Nantes.
It presents botanical concepts as well as the classifications of Linnaeus and Tournefort. This manuscript, nearly 200 pages long, is written on the verso of the plates from Buc'hoz’s Flore Lorraine.
All plates are also annotated with details on plant names, their classification according to Linnaeus and Tournefort, and their medicinal uses—together forming a true pharmacopoeia.
These 187 plates were intended to illustrate Buc'hoz’s Traité historique des plantes qui croissent dans la Lorraine et les Trois-Évêchés, published in ten octavo volumes between 1762 and 1770. The plates, originally issued separately in installments and designed to be folded and bound in octavo, are gathered here in a single folio volume.
Buc'hoz, known for the beauty of his plates, had solicited financial support from fellow countrymen and botany enthusiasts for the production of these engravings. Thus, at the bottom of almost every plate, one finds the coat of arms and name of the sponsor who funded it.
Maurice Mahot, the author of this manuscript, sponsored plate 152.
While biographical information on Maurice Mahot “the elder” (1745–1810), a royal counselor, civil and criminal judge at the présidial, alderman (1777), and deputy mayor of Nantes (1779), offers little indication of an interest in natural sciences and botany, the same cannot be said of his son, Maurice Mahot “the younger” (1774–1842), a doctor of medicine and scholar who published several books on medicine and lexicography.
The annotations by the son—a physician—on the plates funded by the father—a botany enthusiast—explain the numerous pharmaceutical and medical recipes found in the work.
Another collector has left his name on the title page: Silas Boucher de la Ville Jossy, a member of a prominent Nantes family in the mid-19th century.
A fascinating manuscript, still largely unexplored, of exceptional character, both for the beauty of its annotated plates and for its content, which intertwines botanical classification and pharmacopoeia.

Traité de la Chymie.

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.
