First edition in French.

Rare copy including all of Glauber's alchemical works published in French by Du Teil.

It is rare to find both "The Description of the New Philosophical Furnaces" and the collection of Glauber's small treatises in a uniform binding, as these are usually sold separately.

Glauber is the Paracelsus of his time (Hoefer). He made many discoveries in chemistry (he discovered sodium sulfate, then called Glauber's salt, and was one of the first to have glimpsed the existence of chlorine). Like Paracelsus, Glauber was a supporter of alchemical operations and theories. His work on recipes for panaceas and other marvelous medicines caused him the same harm as it did Paracelsus.

The Description of the Philosophical Furnaces is complete with all its illustrations and the "Annotations" which make up the sixth part, which is often missing.
In this work, which Ferguson considers one of the most remarkable chemistry books of the 17th century, Glauber describes the construction of furnaces and their use for distillation, the preparation of oils, extraction, the separation of metals, and the manufacture of balms. The appendix is ​​bound at the head of volume 2.

Following are bound with separate title pages and pagination:
- Les trois parties de l'Oeuvre minérale
- La Teinture de l'or
- Le Traitté de la Médecine universelle
- La Consolation des navigants.

Rare set of Glauber's five alchemical treatises in French.

More Details >
1800 €

First edition of this important translation from greek to latin of the Hippocratic corpus.
Remains the reference until its replacement by the French edition of Littre [1839-1861].

The Hippocrates works are a set of sixty text written between 450 and 350 bc.
During the sixteenth century, scholars have gradually given rise to the Hippocratic Corpus in Latin, which was current until its replacement by the French edition of Littre [1839-1861].

The editions that enabled this achievement are the first editions in Latin (1525 in Rome) and Greek (1526, Aldus), which led to the discovery of manuscripts hitherto virtually unknown.
Then came the Basel editions of 1538 and 1546 (Froben) that led to the systematic correction of many first editions.
Finally, in 1595, the doctor of Metz Anuce Foes (1528-1595) printed this important bilingual edition that became the reference until the Littré works 250 years later.

Fresh copy of this rare and important edition of the works of Hippocrate.
