Description from the seller
Second edition published in Amsterdam posthumously of this pioneering text of modern ophthalmology and eye surgery, given by Charles de Saint-Yves (1667-1731).
A descriptive pathological monograph that became one of the references of the French school of ophthalmology, the work was the subject of a quarrel quickly resolved in the Mercure de France in May 1722, and various translations were published across Europe: in English (London 1741 and 1744), in German (Berlin 1730), in Italian (Venice 1750, 1768, and 1781), or in Dutch (1739).
Preserved in a beautiful period binding in full marbled calfskin, with a smooth spine decorated with gold fillets and fleurons, title in gilded letters, red edges.
Solid work despite the epidermized and rubbed leather, with trimmed headbands, pierced corners, and a starting split at the hinge. The interior is well preserved overall, with some foxing. The ex-libris is erased on the title page.
Title printed in red and black with a beautiful engraved vignette.
Charles Saint-Yves, or de Saint-Yves, born on November 10, 1667, and died on August 3, 1731, was a French philanthropist and oculist, famous for his cataract operation and his treatise on ophthalmology. For his surgical method and his treatise, Saint-Yves is considered one of the pioneers of modern ophthalmology and is regarded as one of the fathers of the French school. His reputation is reinforced by the care of his former disciple Étienne Léoffroy, to whom Saint-Yves, without direct descendants, bequeathed his name and his estate, having adopted him by royal patent.
A subsequent lineage of doctors and intellectuals named Saint-Yves descends from Léoffroy rather than from collateral branches that entered into dispute with the latter.
