Les Remedes des Maladies du Corps Humain
Paris, Marthelemy Girin, 1702. Troisième
Édition, augmentee d?un grand nombre
?..(44),708 pp., 6 full page engravings.
New binding in marbled paper as well as
new endpapers
Third edition (first printed in 1680) of a
valuable illustrated treatise on anatomy and
disease. This comprehensive work depicts
the human body, detailing the brain,
nerves, musculature and organs, as well as
examines various illnesses, diseases and
deformities. Whereas most seventeenth
century French anatomies were either
textbooks or highly theoretical, this work
pragmatically approaches the topic with
both anatomical information and anecdotal
discussions of ailments.
Sieur de Saint Hilaire (fl. 1665-1698) is
believed to have been a French physician, but
little is known about him and few of his works
survive
