Jean ASTRUC

Traité de la cause de la digestion, où l'on réfute le nouveau sistème de la Trituration & du broïement. Et où l'on prouve que les alimens sont digérez & convertis en chile, par une veritable Fermentation.

Chez Ant. Colomiez, Toulouse 1714, in-8 (10x18cm), (18) 400pp. (20), relié.


Originale.L'exemplaire Edition includes some small woodcuts in-text representing patterns digestifs.Plein vintage speckled back with five nerves decorated boxes and floral golden piece of red morocco, all red edges. Head cover frayed and corners a bit, otherwise good fresh exemplaire.Intérieur except some pale foxing and rousseurs.Jean Astruc is an admirable character of his time, his enormous work covers many areas of medicine (fever, digestive system, diseases venereal diseases of women, etc.). He is also the author of a magisterial History of the Faculty of Medicine at Montpellier. His Treatise on the cause of digestion enjoyed an incredible impact at the time of publication: he says that digestion is a chemical, not mechanical phenomenon, thus taking the floor against an entire medical tradition, that of iatromécaniciens. --- Please note that the translation in english is done automatically, we apologize if the formulas are inaccurate.
