600 €

Handwritten course in Latin probably given in a Jesuit college (the patronage of St. Louis de Gonzague is repeated many times), in the first half of the 18th century. The manuscript is part of the tradition of Aristotelian and Thomistic philosophy which was taught in seminaries and theological faculties in the form of a Compendium mixing physics and metaphysics. The first volume is devoted to metaphysics and logic, including the schemata of Aristotelian categories. The second volume, devoted to physics, is divided into four treatises (on the senses, bodies, movement, gravity) and finally a chapter on meteors.

Course on Therapeutic Pharmacology given by Nicolas Dumoulin during the years 1868-1869 at the University of Ghent. Nicolas Du Moulin (1827-1890) was a Belgian physician. In 1857, he was appointed to lecture in pharmacology and toxicology at the University of Ghent (Faculty of Medicine). In 1870, he exchanged his pharmacology courses for internal medicine courses. The writer, Cyrille Van Cauwenberghe, left his signature at the head of the book. The course details the different formulations of medications and their therapeutic uses. Noteworthy is a long chapter on rye ergot, used as an abortive substance.

Histoire des maladies du bas ventre.

Original manuscript in French.
This manuscript reproduces the course given by Jean Astruc (1684-1766), who held the chair of medicine at the Collège royal from 1731.
This teaching on abdominal diseases, from hiccups to hemorrhoids, was never published by Astruc. However, several manuscript copies are known under the title Traité des Maladies du bas ventre.
The medical content of our manuscript is identical to the digitized copies of the BIU Santé (Ms 2116) and the Collège de France (XV 8° 375). Most of the chapter headings are similar, although there are some differences in the structure (some chapters are grouped together, others are separated).
Finally, our copy extends to the question of hemorrhoids, which is absent from the Ms2116 manuscript (present in that of the Collège de France), but omits the question of intestinal worms, which are usually found in this course (present in both aforementioned manuscripts).
On the front flyleaf, the following handwritten ex libris is found: "hic liber attinet ad me Lagilardo" (or Lagilardie?).

First edition.
Anatomy treatise for artists illustrated with 12 lithographs by Mademoiselle Papaveine after Naudet.
The author's name appears in another work as 'Tanude, chirurgien-anatomiste de Montpellier.' The letters of the name being the same as in 'Naudet', 'Tanude' may be a pseudonym for a member of the Naudet family of Montpellier and possibly for the designer.

Second French edition of this important work in which Newton sets out his theory of light, the study of the refraction and diffraction of light. He observes in particular that light is composed of a multitude of colors.

This edition is more sought after than the first because the translation by Pierre Varignon was revised and supervised by Newton himself.

Handwritten note at the end: "Bookplate Musei C.Dupré. 1 quarto volume purchased on April 2, 1779"
An old handwritten note states that this copy was purchased on May 2, 1863, at the library sale... and placed to their proper place the plates that had been incorrectly inserted by the bookbinder.

Third edition in french, quite rare and printed by Daniel Elzevier (Berhman sup.77)

Descartes considered the human body to be a material machine, directed by a rational soul.
He conceived its functioning based solely on the laws of mechanics, without incorporating metaphysical principles that could not be verified by experiment.
Nearly four centuries later, in the era of transhumanism, this "Traité de l'Homme" has aroused renewed interest in the fields of neuroscience and cognitive science.

First edition of this beautiful collection dedicated to ancient Rome, remarkably illustrated by the painter and engraver Jean Barbault.
117 engravings on 73 leaves, 9 large engraved vignettes in the text, and 1 on the title page.
They depict the principal monuments of antiquity—the Colosseum, the Pantheon, temples, columns, aqueducts, thermal baths, and paintings recently discovered at Herculaneum—some with their plans and bas-relief details.
Several etchings reveal the influence of Piranesi, with whom Barbault collaborated for a time.
The collection presents a true archaeological inventory.

The French painter and engraver Jean Barbault, born in Vienna near Beauvais around 1705, received a scholarship from the Academy of Fine Arts to study in Rome in 1749.
After graduating from the Academy in 1753, he decided not to return to France due to lack of funds and remained in Italy until his death in 1766.

The Dodechedron of Fortune, named after the twelve-sided die used to cast oracles and the medieval goddess of Fortune, was a divinatory game, now called “The Magic Mirror of Jehan de Meung.”
This game consisted of choosing questions about the future and finding their answers using a special die, whose twelve faces correspond to the twelve houses of the sky and offer a number that refers to a horoscope or advice.

The two fold-out tables, each 12 by 12 squares, show the signs of the zodiac on the abscissa and the planets on the ordinate, each corresponding to a number on the die. Each square refers to an oracle in the book.

First edition.
Émile Belot (1857-1944), graduate of the École Normale Supérieure, agrégé de philosophie, and chief engineer of the State Manufactures. Passionate about astronomy, he was a member of the Société astronomique de France from 1904. In this work, Belot proposes a theory of the formation of the solar system in which he hypothesizes a nebulous proto-sun entering into violent contact with a larger nebula and explains that such an encounter is at the origin of planetary systems and their organization according to a logarithmic spiral on the diagram in which the planets of this system are distributed by vortical absorption and concretion of the dust of the jostled nebula.
