Wetsten, 1710, in-8, front, [18]-632-[36] pp, Veau brun de l'époque, dos à nerfs et fleuronné, pièce de titre rouge, Édition originale de cette histoire de la médecine, en 19 dialogues. L'édition a été partagée avec Van Waesberge, à Amsterdam. L'ouvrage ouvre sur un frontispice gravé sur cuivre représentant des savants - médecin, anatomiste, astronome, chimiste, etc. - en conversation autour d'une table en pleine nature, tandis qu'à l'arrière, des satyres jouent à la balle dans un décor de statues démembrées. Barchusen (Barkhausen de son vrai nom, 1666-1723), chimiste et médecin allemand, étudia à Utrecht, où il fit la découverte de l'acide succinique. La plupart de ses publications ont été consacrées à la chimie et à la pharmacologie. Il traite ici de la médecine ancienne, des doctrines de Gallien, Celse, Paracelse, de l'anatomie et de la gymnastique, etc. Il aborde la question de l'acupuncture chez les chinois (pp. 369 et suiv.) et de la transfusion sanguine (pp. 489 et suiv.). Accrocs aux coiffes, coupes frottées, coins usés. Heirs of Hippocrates, n° 728. Wellcome II, p. 99.

(16), 680 pp.Completely revised edition of a collection of 26 texts on the history of medical and chemical theories by an expert on medicine and chemistry, Johann Conrad Barchusen (1666-1723). Between the examined authors are Paracelsus, Crollius, Van Helmont, Fludd, Campanella, etc. Pp. 333-63 are devoted to Chinese medicine, or acapuncture. Barchusen studied pharmacy at several universities, including the universities of Berlin, Mainz and Vienna. He settled in Utrecht in 1694, and after being awarded an honorary M.D. by the city in 1698, he was appointed extraordinary professor of chemistry in 1703.Barchusen's work shows his development from a practicing pharmacist to a professor of the new academic discipline of chemistry. His first book Pharmacopoeus synopticus, published in 1690, was a pharmaceutical work. After his arrival in Utrecht, he published a further three works on chemistry. Although Barchusen was not a chemist of genius, his activities much contributed to the high level of the Dutch academic chemistry from which his illustrious contemporary at Leyden, Hermann Boerhaave, emerged as the most influential teacher in the first decades of the eighteenth century. The first edition of the present work was arranged in dialogue form, which was criticized heavily, together with the poor Latin style. Therefore, in 1723, the present revised edition was published as a respond to these criticisms.With the eges of the binding slightly rubbed and the gilting on spine partly gone. Some browning and foxing throughout and a few wormholes in the margins of the last leaves; a good copy.l Ferguson, Bibliotheca Chemica I, p. 72 "an interesting collection of essays"; Blake, p. 99; Neu (Ed.), Chemical, Medical, and Pharmaceutical Books Printed before 1800 in the collections of the University of Wisconsin Libraries, 230; DSB I, p. 450-1; this title not in Cole, nor in Bibl.
