Hardcover. First edition. TWO OF PARÉ'S MOST IMPORTANT WORKS. First editions of two of Paré's most important works, both very rare, and in fine condition. "The Cinq livres contains all new material. It had been called by several serious writers Paré's chef d'oeuvre . in it appears the first description of the fracture of the head and of the femur. Secondly, it is the first appearance of the whole teaching of bandages, fractures, and dislocations which has come down to us from the ancients, broadened by Paré's own experience . It is undoubtedly one of his most important works" (Doe 19). The Traicté de la peste was written from direct experience of the plague: "Having passed the winter of 1564-65 on tour in Provence with Catherine de Medici and the young king Charles IX, where the ravages of a plague epidemic, added to poverty and general misery, were painfully apparent, Paré was requested by the queen mother to make whatever knowledge he possessed of the disease available to the world. He therefore puts into a book his ideas as to its cause, transmission, and treatment, and says he writes only of what he has seen by long experience during his three years at the Hôtel-Dieu, his travels, his practice in Paris, and his own slight attack while he was serving his internship. This is one of Paré's most systematic treatises; for its careful symptomatology and thorough description of treatment, it deserves to rank among the best of his writings" (Doe 14). Both works are very rare. "Paré's original books, all very rare today, were handy volumes, small enough for the field surgeon's knapsack" (Hagelin, p. 35). ABPC/RBH list only two other apparently complete copies of the Cinq livres (Parke Bernet, 1963 & Sotheby's, 2016), and one of the Traicté de la peste (Sotheby's, 2005). Provenance: 'C.P.L.C. du bon desser' (contemporary ink inscription in lower margin of a2 recto); François Moutier (20th-century bookplate). "The barber-surgeons before Paré expected that any sort of surgical technique would require that the patient experience pain, sometimes pain so extreme that the subject would lose consciousness during the procedure. His realization that one might act gently in the capacity of a surgeon and that such gentleness actually might improve the lot of his patients was transformative. Pain relief was extremely limited in the 16th century - opium, henbane, mandrake, and strong spirits being the only offerings - and a quick, painful procedure often meant survival in a pre-antibiotic era. Tremendous pain was an accepted part of surgery. For Paré, the benefits of a gentle hand during surgery would soon become a clear means of reducing the suffering of his patients. "Paré made his break from the traditional practices in 1537 when he ran out of the boiling oil solution conventionally used to 'detoxify' and cauterize wounds caused by gunpowder-driven projectiles. He replaced this harsh treatment with a soothing balm made from egg yolks, rose oil, and turpentine. The next morning, he was astonished to find the recipients of his new treatment were resting easily while those who suffered the cauterizing oil were 'feverish' and afflicted with 'great pain and swelling about the edges of their wounds'. "Seeing the dramatic difference between the 'proper' and improvised treatments, Paré resolved to only treat cases with procedures he had personally observed to be useful. This resulted in such innovations as the use of ligatures in amputations, treatments for sucking chest wounds, and a cure for chronic ulcers of the skin. Although this experimentally driven medicine did not come to define the physician's practice until the rise of the Paris Clinic in the 19th century, these first writings established an important foundation of empiricism in European medicine" (Drucker). "Control of hemorrhage by ligation of arteries had been frequently recommended but it was Paré who first practiced it systematically and brought it into general use. He invented many new surgical instruments, devised new methods in dentistry for extracting teeth, filling cavities, and making artificial dentures. He describes an artificial hand from iron, and also artificial noses and eyes of gold and silver" (Hagelin, pp. 34-35). Janet Doe's bibliography makes special note of the scarcity of the Cinq livres: "Malgaigne, who could locate no copy of this book, makes an erroneous guess in ascribing to it Pare's book on tumors. It is extraordinary that no copy has come to light in recent years [Doe's work was published in 1937] till Haberling's report of the Freiburg one in 1928. Haeser, in 1881, mentions its existence; but Le Paulmier in 1884, Paget in 1897, and Packard in 1921 all refer to it as probably lost. This present census reveals fourteen copies extant, all but three of which are in large libraries" (Doe, p. 70). Doe lists the following copies: 1. Boston Medical Library. 2. Bibliothèque Nationale. 3. Bibliothèque Publique, Besançon. 4. Dr. Logan Clendining, Kansas City. 5. Dr. Harvey Cushing. 6. Bibliothek der Deutschen Gessellshaft für Chirurgie, Berlin. 7.

"Paré's account of plague, which was written at the request of the French queen-mother, Catherine de Medici, after a widespread outbreak of the disease in France in 1565, is one of the classic descriptions of the disease, and indicates how painful and fearsome it was. In Paré's view, the 'first original' of plague was a corruption of the air, entering the body and reaching the heart, 'the Mansion, or as it were the Fortress or Castle of Life', where it acted like a poison, attacking the vital spirit. If the vital spirit is weak, it 'flies back into the Fortress of the Heart, by the like contagion infecting the Heart, and so [it infe.

Hardcover. First edition. THE PLAGUE, SMALLPOX, AND MEASLES. First edition of Paré's extremely rare treatise on the plague, smallpox and measles, based upon his own direct observations of these diseases, "one of his best works" (Thornton, p. 63). "Having passed the winter of 1564-65 on tour in Provence with Catherine de Medici and the young King Charles IX, where the ravages of a plague epidemic, added to poverty and general misery, were painfully apparent, Paré was requested by the queen mother to make whatever knowledge he possessed of the disease available to the world. He therefore puts into a book his ideas as to its cause, transmission, and treatment, and says he writes only of what he has seen by long experience during his three years at the Hôtel-Dieu, his travels, his practice in Paris, and his own slight attack while he was serving his internship. This is one of Paré's most systematic treatises; for its careful symptomatology and thorough description of treatment, it deserves to rank among the best of his writings" (Doe). "His practical measures in regard to hygiene and quarantine are excellent in most respects, although he followed the generally prevalent idea that bonfires of aromatic woods, such as juniper and pine, should be made throughout the streets to purify the air. He humanely urges that, 'The magistrates must have all sick folks attended by physicians, surgeons, and apothecaries, good men, of experience: and must treat those that are attacked and isolate them, sending them to places set apart for their treatment, or must shut them up in their own houses (but this I do not approve, and would rather they should forbid those that are healthy to hold any converse with them) and must send men to dress and feed them, at the expense of the patients, if they have the means, but if they are poor, then at the expense of the parish. Also they must forbid the citizens to put up for sale the furniture of those who have died of the plague'" (Packard, pp. 80-81). "Paré's original books, all very rare today, were handy volumes, small enough for the field surgeon's knapsack" (Hagelin, p. 35). COPAC lists Wellcome only. ABPC/RBH list only one other copy, in a rebacked 19th century binding and with the final four leaves re-margined (Sotheby's, 15 June 2005, lot 49, â 18,000). The present copy, in a 17th century binding, is entirely unrestored. "Because such a high proportion of those who suffered the symptoms of plague died from it, and in a very short space of time, it was not a disease to which people could ever become inured. Every outbreak appeared like a divine judgement. The medical men acknowledged this divine origin of plague. Ambroise Paré, surgeon to four French kings and the most celebrated surgical innovator of his day, devoted a chapter of his 1568 book on plague to 'the Divine causes of an extraordinarie Plague', claiming that: 'It is confirmed, constant, and received opinion in all Ages amongst Christians, that the Plague and other Diseases which violently assail the life of Man, are often sent by the just anger of God punishing our offences. The Prophet Amos hath long since taught it, saying Shall there be affliction, shall there be evil in a Citie, and the Lord hath not done it? On which we truly we ought always to meditate . For thus we shall learn to see God, our selves, the Heaven and Earth, the true knowledge of the causes of the Plague, and by a certain Divine Philosophy to teach, God to be the beginning and cause of the second causes, which well without the first cause cannot go about, nor attempt, much less perform any thing. For from hence they borrow their force, order, and constancy of order; so that they serve as instruments for God, who rules and governs us, and the whole World, to perform all his works, by that constant course of order, which he hath appointed unchangeable from the beginning. Wherefore all the cause of a Plague is not to be attributed to these near and inferior causes or beginnings, as the Epicures, and Lucianists commonly do.' [This and subsequent quotations from Paré are from the English translation of the present work, A Treatise of the Plague, London: Thomas Johnson, 1630.] "Thus only atheists and scoffers would claim that plague has only natural (secondary) causes. However the first cause - God - customarily acts through secondary causes, so Paré as a medical man could then immediately turn to the natural causes of plague to discuss its causes, course, and cure. "Paré's account of plague, which was written at the request of the French queen-mother, Catherine de Medici, after a widespread outbreak of the disease in France in 1565, is one of the classic descriptions of the disease, and indicates how painful and fearsome it was. In Paré's view, the 'first original' of plague was a corruption of the air, entering the body and reaching the heart, 'the Mansion, or as it were the Fortress or Castle of Life', where it acted like a poison, attacking the vital spirit. If the vital spirit is weak, it 'flies back into the Fortress of the Heart, by the like contagion infecting the Heart, and so [it infects] the whole Body, being spread into it by the passages of the Arteries'. The pestiferous poison brought about a burning fever, whose effects drove sufferers to desperate measures. They had ulcerated jaws, unquenchable thirst, dryness and blackness of the tongue, 'and it causeth such a Phrensy by inflaming the Brain, that the Patients running naked out of their beds, seek to throw themselves out of Windows into the Pits and Rivers that are at hand'. "Because he saw plague as a poison, a poison which acted on the heart and then on the blood, Paré's first concern in treatment was to provide an antidote, which by its specific property would defend the heart from the poison by opposing the specific power of the poison. It had to be quick-acting, since the poison itself was very swift. Paré's antidote of choice was a mixture of treacle and mithridatium, an ancient drug compoun.

Bergouhnioux, (gilt stamped at base of spine) spine gilt ruled in compartments, fleurons gilt at centres, tan morocco label gilt, a little soiled. Very rare and important first edition of Ambroise Paré s greatest work, illustrated with a woodcut portrait of Paré at the age of 55 and 41 woodcuts depicting surgical operations and instruments. The Cinq livres contains all new material. It had been called by several serious writers Paré s chef d oeuvre. In it appears the first description of the fracture of the head and of the femur. Secondly, it is the first appearance of the whole teaching of bandages, fractures, and dislocations which has come down to us from the ancients, broadened by Paré s own experience. It is undoubtedly one of his most important works (Doe 19). This eminently practical work is very rare, even more so in good condition, as copies were undoubtedly much used in the field as a practical guides. Paré s original books, all very rare today, were handy volumes, small enough for the field surgeon s knapsack Hagelin. During the 1537 siege of Turin, a young French barber-surgeon abandoned the conventional wisdom about the treatment of bullet wounds, giving rise to a revolution in surgical techniques and pedagogy. Ambroise Paré . set the stage for the modern melding of scientific medicine and the invasive procedures that define surgery at the turn of the 21st century. The dogmatic quality of Galenism meant that physicians until the Renaissance and in many ways until the 19th century did not practice a medicine based on practical observation, experience, and empirical analysis. The treatments proscribed by Galen and the earlier Hippocratic writings were first comprehensively challenged by Paré and the anatomical writings of Paré s contemporary, Andreas Vesalius. Paré made his break from the traditional practices in 1537 when he ran out of the boiling oil solution conventionally used to detoxify and cauterize wounds caused by gunpowder-driven projectiles. He replaced this harsh treatment with a soothing balm made from egg yolks, rose oil, and turpentine. The next morning, he was astonished to find the recipients of his new treatment were resting easily while those who suffered the cauterizing oil were feverish and afflicted with great pain and swelling about the edges of their wounds . Seeing the dramatic difference between the proper and improvised treatments, Paré resolved to only treat cases with procedures he had personally observed to be useful. This resulted in such innovations as the use of ligatures in amputations, treatments for sucking chest wounds, and a cure for chronic ulcers of the skin. Although this experimentally driven medicine did not come to define the physician s practice until the rise of the Paris Clinic in the 19th century, these first writings established an important foundation of empiricism in European medicine. By writing in his native language, Paré was able to produce a series of volumes renowned for their clarity of form and easily accessible to his fellow barber-surgeons. His reliance upon the experiences of a long and notable career (he was often away at wars, attending high officials and, later, kings) gave his arguments heft.

*** Première édition. Elle est illustrée d'un portrait et 87 bois gravés dans le texte. Marque gravée de Wechel au dernier feuillet. La première partie traite de la génération et des accouchements. Ambroise Paré écrivit ce livre à la demande du duc d'Uzès qui l'interrogeait sur la génération et la conception des enfants. Cette partie s'achève sur les douleurs des dents et leur extraction. La seconde partie est consacrée aux monstres et c'est la première publication d'Ambroise Paré sur le sujet. Bien que de nombreux admirateurs de Paré ont rougi de la crédulité dont il fait preuve ici, Malgaigne a ardemment défendu la valeur de ces études tératologiques. Elles sont pour parti tirées de Lycostènes et Boaistuau, mais aussi d'observations personnelles, comme cette baleine qu'il a vu à Biarritz au cours d'un voyage en France à la suite du roi. A la fin, quelques chapitres sur la chirurgie sont ajoutés. Picot note que l'ouvrage, malgré sa date de 1573, a certainement était imprimé avant le 24 Août 1572, date du massacre de la Saint Barthélémy auquel a réussi à échapper Wechel, qui émigra alors définitivement et installa ses presses à Frankfurt. Tous les premiers ouvrages d'Ambroise Paré, des livres d'usage et de petit format, sont aujourd'hui rares. Picot, Catalogues James de Rotschild I, 108. Le livre a apparemment été relié au XIXe à l'aide de matériaux anciens. Très bel exemplaire. *** In-8 de (24), 619 pp. Maroquin brun, fleuron doré sur les plats, dos orné, tranches dorées.

(Doe) The Duke d'Uzés talking one day to Paré about the formation and development of the fetus, begged him to write down for others what he had told the Duke. This is the first part of this volume, with at the end, two chapters on toothache and extraction. The second is a book on monsters, which appears here in its earliest form. "In spite of the fact that many of Paré's admirers have blushed for the credulity exhibited by him here, Malgaigne stoutly defends the work to teratological study inherent in these pathological description by Paré." They are partly taken from Lycostenes and Boaistuau, but also from personal observations, such as the whale Paré saw in Biarritz during a trip to France in the king's suite. At the end, some chapters on surgery are added. Picot notes that the work, in spite of its date of 1573, was certainly printed before August 24, 1572, date of the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre from which Wechel managed to escape, who then emigrated definitively and set up his presses in Frankfurt. All of Ambroise Paré's early works, which are practical books in small format, are today rare. Doe, A bibliography of the works of Ambroise Paré 20. Garrison Morton 543.51.

"Paré's first general treatise on surgery, and the most comprehensive of his treatises before his collected works (1575). Dix livres included Paré's first description of the use of the ligature in amputations, one of his greatest contributions. Paré began the work with an exposition of his method of treating gunshot wounds, including descriptions and illustrations of the instruments he used. In his second chapter he discussed the treatment of arrow wounds, reminding us that arrows were still a major weapon of war in the 16th century. In his third chapter he discussed his methods of treating fractures, and the instruments, splints, and bandaging methods required. His fourth book covered the treatment of contusions, and the use of many instruments. His fifth book concerned the treatment of burns. The sixth book concerned what he called "caries of the bones" which caused ulceration and putrefaction. These wounds he often treated with cautery. The seventh book concerned gangrene and "mortification," their treatment by amputation, and prostheses which Paré designed for these patients, including artificial legs and artificial hands. In his eighth book Paré discussed urological diseases including surgery for urinary stricture The ninth book concerned surgery for kidney and bladder stones. The tenth book further discussed urological problems, followed by a long section in which Paré illustrated and described the widest range of his instruments and the uses for each. Paré also had an extensive dental practice and his books contain much information on the subject. He designed several instruments for extracting teeth." J.

Hardcover. Condizione: Good. Fifth. Fifth and best edition. Paris: Veufue (i.e., Veuve de) Gabiel Buon, 1598. Folio in 6s (13 3/4" x 8 11/16", 349mm x 221mm). [Full collation available.] Without the frontispiece portrait found in some copies. Bound in contemporary sprinkled calf. On the spine, six raised bands. Author gilt to the second panel. All edges of the text-block speckled red and brown. Hinges starting, with rubbing, scuffing, abrasion and loss throughout. Title-page trimmed and backed, with a filled loss at the lower edge (not affecting the image). Very mildly tanned throughout. Pressed plant at z5.6. Damp-stains to Pp6-Qq1, Qq6, Ss4-Tt2, TT5-Vv1, Xx4-DD6, LL6-OO3, PP6-TT2, YY5-EEe6, GGg1-HHh3, Iii6-LLl6 (an odd pattern, suggesting perhaps spills before binding). Large loss to the bottom edge of Yy1, not affecting the text. Worming to the lower margin of PP5-HHh2. A single marginalium to p. 1119 in an old hand: "diapalma." Ownership signature of "L DeJupilles" to the title-page as well as to p. 1189 (the end of the works of Paré) and to p. 1228 (the end of the text). Rare to find in contemporary binding, and the wear surely honest. Ambroise Paré (ca. 1509/10-1590) was (barber-)surgeon to four kings of France (Henri II, François II, Charles IX and Henri III, to whom the present work is dedicated), and is generally considered France's father of surgery. First published in 1575, the Oeuvres of Paré show the vast XVIc remit of a surgeon, viz., a doctor and natural scientist. He reintroduced ligation (tying off) in lieu of cauterization (burning) during amputation, a return to the practices of Galen that had been ignored for over a millennium. This 1598 fifth ("cinquiesme") edition is the first to contain the full complement of Paré's revisions, albeit applied posthumously. It is widely considered the "best" -- a hairy term in bibliography, but here clearly applicable -- and was the basis for Malgaigne's 1840 re-issue of the work. It is also quite rare, having come to auction five times (including one copy twice, as well as the present example). The work is best seen as a compendium of the high-water mark of medical (and quasi-medical) knowledge -- an entire course of training in a single volume. Paré treats anatomy extensively, with fine wood-cuts of veins and arteries as well as internal organs. He was working in the era of increasing use of firearms on the battlefield, and so came to be an expert in the treatment of wounds inflicted by projectiles as well as amputation; indeed, he includes diagrams of prosthetics of his own design. In addition to general topics such as gynecology, Paré also treats monsters (both humans born with atypical physiology) as well as the making of medicine, both compounding from simples (i.e., plant, animal and mineral substances) and distillation. The signature -- once to the title-page and once at the end of both parts of the work (the second "part" being an account of the life and travels of Paré, indicating, generally, that the work was in fact read -- is that of L(ouis?) de Jupilles. Jupilles is a commune in the Loire between Le Mans and Tours, and their lords bore that designation. More than that is difficult to ascertain.

A fine copy in a beautiful period binding, with lesser Ink stain to lower gutter! FIRST LATIN EDITION OF PARE'S LANDMARK WORK, and the main instrument of its enormous success: 'this translation into Latin made the work immediately available to all nations of Europe, since Latin was universally the language of the scholar' (Doe). Pare's approach to surgery elevated to the status of scientific discipline what had been largely an ignoble practice. The cuts in this edition are those made for the first edition in French, supplemented by those produced for the 1579 edition. Ambrose Paré (c.1550-1590) is one of the fathers of French surgery, and also an important figure in the history of obstetrics. This translation and edition was made by his famous student Jacques Guillemeau, who married his daughter and ultimately succeeded him as royal surgeon to Charles IX, Henry III, and Henry V. Paré's collected works, first published in French in 1575, represent the greatest and most influential book in Renaissance surgery, and the first original surgical writing in Europe since the Middle Ages. Paré's innovations in treatment are extraordinarily comprehensive, ranging from his opposition to boiling oil in gunshot wounds and ligature instead of cautery in amputations to his revival of podalic version in obstetric deliveries of babies (birthing by means of the feet). He popularized the truss in hernias. He recommended the reimplantation of teeth, and described and illustrated the prostheses for the nose, eyes, hand, and penis. He preferred the artificial nose to rhinoplasty, although he discusses the latter. He classified burns, and described the pin-prick test still used to differentiate between full and partial thickness burns. His work also include the first illustration of the repair of harelip using a pin and twisted suture. "Paré used rope and windlass traction for femoral fractures and was able to distinguish hip dislocation from fracture of the femoral neck. He confirmed the cord compression in vertebral fractures" - Le Vay, History of Orthopedics, pp. 224-25; also 222-230). Further "Ambroise Paré introduced many innovations and made various observations that influenced the future development of neurological surgery to a great extent, although these contributions are less well known than his surgical achievements.

Ambroise Paré (1510 - 1590) was a barber-surgeon who served under the French kings Henry II, Francis II, Charles IX and Henry III. Barber-surgeons were not physicians, but were charged with caring for soldiers during and after battle due to their expertise with blades. Ambroise Paré is considered one of the fathers of surgery and modern forensic pathology. and a pioneer in surgical techniques. The first edition was published in 1575. This is the 12th edition, published in 1664, early in the reign of King Louis XIV.

8 feuillets. 852 pages. 37 feuillets. (35x22,5 Cm). Plein veau postérieur. Dos lisse orné. Charnières et dos légèrement frottés. Douzième édition posthume de cet ouvrage important et connu d Ambroise Paré, chirurgien d'Henri II, roi de France. Paré n'est pas diplômé de la Sorbonne ni de Padoue. Il débute sa carrière comme barbier, puis poursuit son activité de "petit chirurgien" en suivant les troupes françaises dans le Piémont lorsque Francesco Ier revendique des droits sur le duché de Milan. Il acquit une certaine notoriété lorsqu'il extirpa adroitement, à l'aide d'une pince de forgeron, la pointe d une lance coincée dans le crâne de Francesco di Lorena, désormais connu sous le nom de "le balafré". Sa spécialité est devenue le traitement des blessures par balle. Lorsqu'il publie cet ouvrage pour la première fois en 1575, on l'accuse d'être un homme imprudent, très inexpérimenté et trop audacieux. Les médecins de la Sorbonne crient au scandale et demandent que l'ouvrage soit brûlé car ils considèrent que Paré joue avec les limites de la médecine et met en péril à la fois la vie des patients et la déontologie des médecins. Outre les thèmes plus traditionnels de la chirurgie, l'ouvrage traite également des "monstres" de la nature, illustrés dans le texte et définis par l'auteur. Ces prodiges sont plutôt des phénomènes contre-nature, comme une femme donnant naissance à un serpent ou à un chien ou un homme né avec des membres plus courts et un chapeau sur la tête. Nous avons la chance de pouvoir mettre en vente un exemplaire très bien conservé et sans défauts majeurs. Rousseurs et taches d'encre éparses. Quelques soulignements au crayon bleu dans le texte.

Contient des illustrations des instruments et techniques de chirurgie+autres nombreuses figures dans le texte. Ambroise Paré, né vers 1510 (ou 1509 selon les sources) au Bourg-Hersent, près de Laval, et mort le 20 décembre 1590 à Paris, est un chirurgien et anatomiste français.Ambroise Paré est le chirurgien des champs de bataille, il est souvent considéré comme le père de la chirurgie moderne. Il est l'inventeur de nombreux instruments. La généralisation alors relativement récente de l usage des armes à feu rend les chirurgiens familiers avec des plaies d'une sorte nouvelle, que l on cautérise au fer rouge ou à l huile bouillante au risque de tuer le blessé. Paré met au point la ligature des artères, qu'il substitue à la cautérisation, dans les amputations. « Je le pansay, Dieu le guarist. »On cite volontiers cette phrase modeste de Paré pour résumer sa philosophie (citation en moyen français signifiant : « Je le pansai, Dieu le guérit. »).

Le ultime 24 pagineÂsono mancanti di ampie parti del testo. I restauri marginali dei fogli sono inoltre presenti in altre pagine del volume, in particolare da pagina 800 a pagina 852 circa. Alcune pagine con diffuse fioriture. Legatura moderna in piena pelle. Moltissime illustrazioni in xilografia nel testo. Dodicesima edizione postuma di questa importante e notissima opera, proprio per l'iconografia in essa contenuta, stampata numerose volte e pubblicata in prima edizioneÂnel 1575.ÂAmbroise Pare' (1510-1590) decise di pubblicarla in francese, pur conscio dello stigma che ne sarebbe derivato, motivando la sua decisione nel testo introduttivo. L'opera tratta appunto dei "mostri" in natura - illustrati nel testo - definiti dall'A. "fenomeni che appaiono al di fuori del corso della natura", come un bambino nato senza un braccio, o un altro con due teste. I prodigi sono invece fenomeni che avvengono contro natura, come una donna che partorisce un serpente o un cane. Molte le illustrazioni presenti in particolare da pagina 646 a 660 di gemelli nati attaccati o di esseri con corpi deformi. Curiosa la figura a pagina 656 di un nato con gli arti piu' corti che presenta un cappello in testa, mentre tutti gli altri corpi sono presentati nella loro asettica nudita'. Per Ghadessi ("Portraits of Human Monsters in the Renaissance", p. 18) l'anonimato del bambino e' in qualche modo compromesso dal suo cappello che potrebbe consentire una sua riconoscibilita': "This item of clothing cancels his generic position as a mere case study and invites viewers to speculate about the possible identity of this boy".ÂAmbroise Pare'ÂfuÂchirurgoÂdi Enrico II, re di Francia. Non si laureo' alla Sorbona o a Padova. Inizio' la sua carriera come barbiere, proseguendo poi la sua attivita' come "chirurgo minore" al seguito delle truppe francesi in Piemonte quando Francesco I rivendico' diritti sul ducato di Milano. Si guadagno' una certa fama quando estrasse con destrezza, mediante una tenaglia da fabbro, la punta della lancia conficcatasi nell'orbita di Francesco di Lorena, detto da allora "lo sfregiato". Sua specialita' era la cura delle ferite da arma da fuoco. Nel 1552 fu chirurgo aggregato all'armata di Enrico II. Nel 1554 fu nominato "chirurgo maggiore". Quando pubblico' quest'opera nel 1575 fu accusato di essere un uomo "molto imprudente, molto inesperto e molto temerario" per avere sconfinato dall'ambito della chirurgia invadendo, secondo i medici della Sorbona, i campi della generazione dei corpi, della patogenesi, dei morbi, della natura e proprieta' dei farmaci. La facolta' della Sorbona fece istanza affinche' l'operaÂfosse messa al rogo ma questo non avvenne sia per la fama che Pare' aveva conquistato come medico, sui campi di battaglia, sia per la dedica ad Enrico III, terzo figlio maschio di Enrico II, con la quale si apriva la sua opera.

Couverture rigide. Condizione: Bon. Claude Rousselet (?-1601), docteur régent en la faculté de médecine de Paris, doyen en 1576-1577. Il semble que le fils de Claude Rousselet, François, ait épousé la fille d?Ambroise Paré, Catherine I (issue du premier mariage). P.S., 5 janvier 1570, 1p in-8. Sur parchemin. Quittance pour le paiement de sa rente. Celle-ci fut payée par François de Vigny, receveur des finances de la ville de Paris, l?ancêtre d?Alfred de Vigny qui fut anobli. Notons que les Haag, dans La France protestante (Paris, Cherbuliez, 1858, tome VIII), indiquent bien que François Rousselet est le fils de Claude Rousselet alors que Jacqueline Rousselet, seconde épouse d?Ambroise Paré, est la fille de Jacques Rousselet. A l?inverse, le docteur Le Paulmier et, à sa suite, les généalogies en lignes considèrent que Jacqueline et François sont frères et soeurs et donc enfants de Jacques. Enfin, Janis L. Pallister, dans l?introduction de sa traduction de Des Montes et prodiges, publiée en 1982, dit que François et Jacqueline sont les enfants de Claude Rousselet. Il nous semble toutefois qu?il faille plus faire confiance au travail des frères Haag qu?au travail du docteur Le Paulmier qui a quelques approximations. Il est d?ailleurs assez logique, quand on voit les mariages de cette époque qui se passaient principalement dans le même milieu, qu?au moins un des deux [François ou Jacqueline], voire les deux, soient l?enfant du médecin.
