Nicolas Chesneau (1601? -1680?) Doctor, graduated from the faculty of Toulouse exercised in Marseille.
In the preamble, a sonnet written by R. Dares summarizes the work as follows:
"You run everywhere from shop to shop,
And pretend seeing various practitioners
Acquire the reputation of true pharmacists;
Learn from Chesneau rather the theoretical.

He gathered you from a methodical order,
All that the writers, Hebreux, Egyptians
Greeks, Arabs, Latins, new or old,
have left in writing of the Pharmaceutical Art ".

provenance: Handwritten ex libris and marginalia on the blanks from Pierre Moulli (or Moullior ?).
