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.

provenance: Docteur Flandrin (engraved bookplate).
