AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

ASTRUC (Jean)

De Morbis Venereis: Nine Books ... Second edition, enlarged and corrected, in which two new dissertations have been added.

Paris, at Cavelier's, 1740.

1 volume (of 2) in-4 (25 x 18.5 cm), mottled calf (period binding), spine with nerves, mottled edges, [7]-539-1196 pages (complete volume). Volume I is incomplete, with roughly restored corners, caps, and boards, gilding, title and volume pieces erased on the spine, some foxing (not serious). Overall, acceptable condition.

Third edition heavily expanded.

This edition is the first Western medicine book to feature Chinese characters.

Jean Astruc, born in Sauve on March 19, 1684, and died in Paris on May 5, 1766, was a French theoretical physician, author of significant works with a historical reputation on syphilis, venereal diseases, and gynecology-obstetrics. He is also considered one of the pioneers of modern biblical exegesis.

Good specimen.
