ASTRUC, Jean (1684-1766). "Tractatus de Febrium Natura & Differentiis." Manuscript on paper. [N.p.], 1720.
4o. 76 pages. (Ownership inscription at center of title-page cut out). [Bound with:] "Brevis Chirurgiae". 81 pages, complete, in a neat and legible hand. (The text starts with page 3; the intended title-page was apparently not included.)
Two original manuscripts, apparently unpublished, by the famous medical doctor, "one of the most learned men of eighteenth-century France" (Heirs of Hippocrates). Professor of anatomy at the Universit de Toulouse and later at Montpellier, before being elected regent doctor of the Faculty of Medicine of Paris -- "the first time that this exceptional honor was awarded to a doctor from a provincial medical school" (DSB), Astruc distinguished himself above all as a highly gifted teacher. "In a series of courses lasting six years he covered all phases of medicine: anatomy, physiology, psychology, gerontology, pathology, therapy, veneorology, gynecology, neurology, and pediatrics" (op. cit.). Many manuscript copies of these methodically presented courses survive ("even in American libraries", as stated by DSB); some were used during Astruc's lifetime for editions printed without his consent in England, Switzerland and Holland. The "Tractatus" of the present manuscript contains descriptions of fibroids and the cancerous growth of tissue in the human body; the "Brevis Chirurgia" is also devoted to tumors and cancers.
