Jean-Baptiste AYMEN
Dissertation dans laquelle on examine si les jours critiques sont les mêmes en nos climats qu'ils étaient dans ceux d'Hippocrate les a observés, & quels égards on doit y avoir dans la pratique
Chez Prault|à Paris 1752|11.50 x 18.50 cm|relié
First edition, rare.
Full speckled brown calf binding, spine with raised bands decorated with 5 fleurons. Skillful contemporary pastiche of a period binding. Title page yellowed, light yellow dampstain on 30 pages in the middle of the work. One leaf missing, the last page of the preface. Handsome copy.
After having expounded the theory of excretory crisis among the ancients, and especially in Hippocrates, its founder, the author studies with the greatest circumspection the validity and pertinence of this medical thesis: do crises, linked to a form of excretion, that is a critical evacuation, cure the patient? Numerous case observations are added at the end of the work.
