About This Item

Lyon, Jean-Baptiste Devenet, 1655. *** Première édition. Une apologie de Van Helmont "contre ceux qui attaquent la nouveauté d'une doctrine". Son auteur est Honoré-Marie Lauthier (ou Lautier), qui a été doyen de la faculté de médecine en l'université d'Aix. Le célèbre iatrochimiste Jan Baptist Van Helmont, (Bruxelles, 1577-1644) s'est appuyé sur la théorie des "archées" de Paracelse pour en finir avec l'enseignement d'Aristote. Il a créé le mot "gaz", démontré le mécanisme de la combustion et découvert l'anhydride carbonique. En physiologie, il a découvert l'importance dans la digestion du suc gastrique et a été le précurseur de la neuro-endocrinologie. Le même éditeur lyonnais, Devenet, a publié une nouvelle édtion de l'Ortus medicinae de Van Helmont la même année. L'épître dédicatoire de Lauthier est adressé à Jean Baptiste Forbin, marquis de La Roque et baron de Gontard, président au Parlement d'Aix-en-Provence. Ex libris manuscrit daté de 1658 de Claude Grasset, médecin de Tarascon. Un manque à la page de garde blanche. Bel exemplaire. *** In-12 de 95, (1) pp. Vélin.

An apology of Van Helmont "against those who attack the novelty of a doctrine". Its author is Honoré-Marie Lauthier (or Lautier), who was dean of the faculty of medicine at the University of Aix. The famous iatrochemist Jan Baptist Van Helmont, (Brussels, 1577-1644) used Paracelsus' theory of the "archaea" to put an end to Aristotle's teaching. He created the word "gas", demonstrated the mechanism of combustion and discovered carbon dioxide. In physiology, he discovered the importance of gastric juice in digestion and was the precursor of neuro-endocrinology. The same publisher from Lyon, Devenet, published a new edition of Van Helmont's Ortus medicinae the same year. Lauthier's dedicatory epistle is addressed to Jean Baptiste Forbin, marquis de La Roque and baron de Gontard, president of the Parliament of Aix-en-Provence. Manuscript ex libris dated 1658 of Claude Grasset, doctor of Tarascon. A lack on one white end paper. A fine copy. Apparently, no copy in America in Worldcat. - -.
