First edition of this scarce work of gastroenterology.
Not in the usual bibliographies (Osler, Heirs, Waller, Cole, Morton, Dezeimeris, ......).
Portal in his dictionary of anatomy (1770) mentions an edition of 1676. He says of this work that it is not very interesting, Galatheau following the system of Willis on digestion.

Traces of this work can also be found in the correspondence of Pierre Bayle:
"There is a doctor from Bourdeaux named Mr Galatheau who I was told was from Religion, who had a Treatise on Digestion printed foods where he fights the opinion of the moderns who want it to be done by an acid humor whose sharp parts do what strong water produces in metals."

Neither his peers nor posterity have been kind to Pierre de Galatheau, however we note on page 13 of his treatise that he uses a microscope to observe the mucous membrane of the stomach:
"the pores of this part are larger and more dilated than the others, as the microscope shows..."
A completely innovative process since Leeuwenhoek's first microscopic observations were only presented to the Royal Society in 1673.

The first and sole ancient collective edition, partially original.

Published by Bossut, this edition is illustrated with a portrait and 14 plates.
Among the unpublished there are many "pensée", writings on Grace, the Treaty of vacuum and and extensive correspondence.
Volumes IV and V contain the scientific works.
We found the second printing of the describing of invention of the computing machine of Descartes (TIV, pages 7-30). The first edition, certainly printed by the author, is unobtainable (only two copies known).
Also of interest here is the reprint of Pascal's 1654 paper introducing his triangle of binominal coefficients (Pascal's Triangle), included in Volume V, pages 1-54. Pascal's invention "predated the concepts of computation of the values of polynomial functions by differences.".

First edition in french of this milestone work for the oceanography.

Count Marsili (1658-1730), an Italian military officer, geographer, and naturalist, is considered the founder of oceanography following the publication of this work. He conducted field observations, studied the seabed of the Gulf of Lion, classified species, currents, and the properties of seawater, emphasizing that his entire scientific approach was based "on the experiments and observations that I myself made on site."

His discoveries about coral and its "flowers" captured the full attention of scholars, as coral had been classified in the mineral kingdom since antiquity. However, Marsili noticed that branches of red coral he had collected became covered with white flowers within a few hours. He deduced that coral was a living organism, belonging to the animal kingdom, which marked a decisive turning point in the understanding of the marine environment.

A superb and extremely rare copy, as is the case here, with all the plates finely colored.
