Hardcover. Zustand: Good. 1st Edition. NEUROLOGICAL ILLNESSES FIRST EDITION thus. 8vo. pp. [12], 497, [17]. Roman letter, little Italic. Title vignette, decorated initials and ornaments. Slight age browning, occasional light water stain, some fore-edges dusty and a bit soiled in first gathering. A good copy in contemporary vellum over boards, c.1900 label of Dr Tinel, Rouen, to front pastedown, H.F. Norman MD label to fly, c1700 ms Ex Libris (?) Senatoris Rothom[agensis] to title, ms bibliographical note in the same hand to last verso (blank). A good copy of the first French edition of this major work on neurological illness, with special focus on epilepsy, vertigo, apoplexy and paralysis. Joseph Du Chesne (or Quercetanus, 1544-1609) trained at Montpellier and Basle, and was a keen follower of Paracelsus. In 1598, he was personal physician to Henri IV. Originally published in Latin in 1606, Tetrade focuses on neurological conditions of the head, inspired by the case of a young lady struck by epilepsy, which, according to Du Chesne, was due to issues in her lower body. From this, he proceeds to an explanation of the nature, causes, symptoms and treatments of epilepsy and its various kinds (e.g., due to blood impurity or strong emotions like fear), and conditions that are similar to and may be mistaken for epilepsy; as well as the nature, causes, symptoms and treatment of vertigo, apoplexy and paralysis. Du Chesne considers them spiritual illnesses - caused by the corruption of the humours due to external causes such as impure air, and the evaporation of vapours that are inside the nerves, leaving mercurial residue and toxic substances leading to illness. A section is devoted to the anatomy of the blood , which explains its flow and chemical composition. A large part is devoted to remedies and treatments, explained in Paracelsian/chemical terms, for these four conditions. These were made from e.g., alkermes, hyacinth, mint flowers, curative waters, marine salt, human skull (ground!), etc., some of Du Chesne s own making, e.g., eau d hirondelles or an opiate purgative. One section focuses especially on remedies from Arabic medicine, mentioning a dozen authorities such as Avicenna, Agazo, Rhazi, Sabor and Xirasi. A very interesting work.

A very good copy in handsome contemporary thick, dark red morocco, covers bordered with a single gilt rule, spine with gilt ruled raised bands, gilt ruled in compartments, morocco label gilt lettered. Rare first edition of the posthumous translation into French of Du Chesne s Tetras gravissimorum totius capitis affectuum , first printed in 1606. A French physician and follower of Paracelsus, Du Chesne is mostly remembered for his important, if transitional, alchemical theories and for first introducing Paracelsus s antimonial remedies to France. This extensive work consists of discussions of Epilepsy, Vertigo, Apoplexy and Paralysis. Duchesne was born around 1544 in Armagnac and studied at Montpellier, and then at Basle, where he received a medical diploma in 1573. During the 1570s at Lyon, he married Anne Trie the granddaughter of Guillaume Budé, and became a Calvinist. He went into medical practice and became physician to Francis, Duke of Anjou. He left Lyon in 1580 for Kassel in Hesse, and moved on to Geneva, where in 1584 he received citizenship. Duchesne was elected to the Council of Two Hundred in 1587, and undertook diplomatic missions to Bern, Basle, Schaffhausen and Zurich in the years 1589 to 1596. In 1598, following the Edict of Nantes, Duchesne returned to France and became physician-in-Ordinary attending Henry IV of France. In 1601 Nicolas Brûlart de Sillery gave him a mission as envoy to the Swiss cantons. In 1604 he went to the court of Maurice of Hesse-Cassel where he gave scientific demonstrations in a laboratory specially set up for him. This rare book of neurology has an alchemical background, especially through the preparation and formulation of drugs, taken from the hermetic practice. The last part of the volume deals specifically with this subject: La signature interne du Vitriol , Antimony , Gold and Silver , Bright Silver or Mercury . Du Chesne treatment for epilepsy derives from the doctrine of the Galenic School but includes theories of the Spagyric School où il est enseigné que la vraie anatomie des maladies se doit apprendre par la lumière de la nature du Grand Monde, dont l homme est l image . For Du Chesne, as for Paracelsus, the life of man is inseparable from that of the universe, where reign the principes hypostatiques exprimés par le triangle alchimique: soufre, mercure et sel . His book ends with a curious chapter on the vinification of gold and how to make gold drinkable. He writes le très chrestien roy de France [Henri IV] favorise la chimie: Sa Majesté a donné permission de bastir un laboratoire avec toutes sortes de fourneaux pour préparer des remèdes spagyriques , and he gives a very complete and most interesting description of this chemical laboratory. A most interesting and rare work; Ustc locates six copies only in libraries. USTC 6020743. Heirs of Hippocrates No. 378.5. Krivatsy, 3472. Osler, 3749 (1617 ed.).

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. SUGAR BLACKENS YOUR TEETH FIRST EDITION. 8vo. ff. [4], 463, [3]. Roman letter, Italic sidenotes. Woodcut printer s device to title, author s engraved portrait to *4, decorated initials and ornaments. Light narrow water stain to outer margin in places, handful of gatherings very lightly browned, a few margins slightly foxed, foot of T3 ink marked. A very good copy, on good quality paper, in contemporary limp vellum, 3 of 4 ties, early ms title to spine, crossed-out early ms ownership inscription at foot of title, the odd early ms annotation. A very good copy of the first edition of this most interesting compendium of medical secrets . The title calls it a work of great usefulness and delight, which includes necessary historical, philosophical and medical information to preserve health and treat sundry illnesses . Joseph Du Chesne (or Quercetanus, 1544-1609) trained at Montpellier and Basle, and was a keen follower of Paracelsus. In 1598, he was personal physician to Henri IV. Diaeteticon i.e., on the good health regime provides, in the first two parts, general advice on how to keep healthy and live long, by eschewing excess related to food, drink, intercourse, passions, exercise, etc. Each chapter is devoted to a specific cause of illness, providing a social context, historical anecdotes, symptoms, effects and suggestions for treatments and diet. Part I discusses the illnesses caused by the perturbations of the soul , e.g., ambition, avarice ( the root of all evil ), wrath, envy, lust and fear. Part II discusses the effects of the weather, diet and sleep on the human body. The chapter on air includes references to the epidemic of sudor anglicus ( sweating sickness , a hitherto unseen illness which spread to the continent from Britain c.1500, scurvy, colic (especially frequent in Alsatia), Hungarian fever (which turns one s tongue black) and scrofula (worst in Spain). The chapter on wine includes indications for a taxonomy of wines by colour, smell, etc. Part III provides dozens of simple rules for everyday life, as well as remedies made from herbs or minerals. Most interesting is the section on tooth brushing, with powder extracted from red coral or from roses; if they are deformed and black, or have been removed, a solution with salt, alum and a little honey should be used . Uncommon is the section on food dressings, with important observation on salt and sugar, both of great cost and use . The latter is said to hide, behind its whiteness, a great blackness : it causes thirst and turns one s teeth black ( in those who are gluttons and eat it too often ), and for this reason it is not advised to anyone, especially to young people . The early annotator of this copy was interested in paliurus for the treatment of scrofula, which he glossed as a thorny and wild herb , and in a treatment, first suggested by Llull, with Lunaria.
