Descrizione libro: Paris André Wechel 1573, 1573. In-8 de 12 ff.n.ch., 619 pp.ch.; peau de truie estampée à froid (reliure de l'époque). Doe, 20; Garrison-Morton, 543.51; Durling, 3528. Edition originale. Ambroise Paré écrivit ce livre à la demande du duc d'Uzès qui l'interrogeait sur la génération et la conception des enfants: "Le duc d'Uzès était assis en face de Paré: la conversation vint à tomber sur la génération, la conception et la nativité des enfants. (.) Paré lui dit aussitôt tout ce qu'il avait appris tant par la lecture des livres anciens que par suite des diverses anatomies qu'il avait faites de femmes mortes alors qu'elles étaient grosses (.) Ce que Paré disait, il le disait si bien que ceux qui l'écoutaient voulaient que ses paroles ne fussent pas perdues" (Paule Dumaître). Dans l'épître dédicatoire au duc d'Uzès, Paré précise que son livre s'adresse aux étudiants et non aux médecins: un de ses plus grands mérites fut en effet de publier des livres de petit format, en français, accessibles à un large public. La première partie répond aux questions du duc et "si les histoires de naissances, de nourrices, d'enfants ne l'intéressaient sans doute guère, il fut certainement amusé par la façon libre et même gaillarde dont Paré s'exprime, surtout dans le chapitre consacré à la "manière d'habiter et faire génération" (op. cité). La seconde partie est consacrée aux monstres, et "les quantités d'anecdotes qu'il rapporte sur les prodiges ont aussi le mérite de nous faire retrouver un moment de ce temps disparu" (op. cité). Elles sont pour une part tirées de lectures (Lycostènes, Boaistuau), mais aussi d'observations personnelles, telle la baleine vue à Biarritz au cours d'un long voyage en France entrepris à la suite du roi. Esprit curieux de tout, Paré conservait des squelettes, des foetus momifiés et diverses curiosités dans son cabinet. Si les adversaires de Paré ont critiqué sa crédulité, Malgaigne souligne, dans son édition des oeuvres, combien les études de Paré sur les monstres ont compté dans l'histoire de la tératologie. A la demande de son confrère Joubert, Paré a ajouté à son ouvrage, deux chapitres consacrés aux dents: naissance, développement, extraction, enlèvement du tartre, transplantation et réimplantation. Bien que daté de 1573, le volume fut certainement imprimé en 1572. En effet, André Wechel, échappé par miracle du massacre de la Saint Barthélémy, avait quitté Paris sur le champ pour se réfugier à l'étranger. Illustré d'un portrait de Paré au verso du titre et de 87 figures gravées sur bois dans le texte. On trouve relié à la suite : MONARDES, Nicolas. De Simplicibus Medicamentis ex Occidentali india delatis, quorum in Medicina usus est. Anvers, Christophe Plantin, 1574. In-8 de 88 pp.ch.

Première édition latine, traduite par Charles de l'Ecluse. Monardes était médecin à Séville. Il passa sa vie à collectionner et à étudier les différents spécimens de plantes rapportées d'Amérique afin de définir leurs propriétés thérapeutiques. Cet ouvrage, qui eut un succès immédiat, est considéré comme un classique de l'histoire de la médecine. Monardes y décrit de nombreuses plantes inconnues des Européens jusqu'alors. On y trouve d'abord une description de tous les remèdes, suivie des méthodes d'utilisation, souvent inspirées des pratiques indiennes. Illustré de nombreuses figures sur bois dans le texte. Les 4 feuillets d'index, qui ne furent jamais reliés dans cet exemplaire, font hélas défaut. La page de titre de l'ouvrage de Paré a été montée sur onglet et restaurée dans sa marge inférieure, les gardes renouvelées, cependant le volume est resté très pur dans sa première reliure.

Descrizione libro: Paris Imp. de Iehan le Royer 1561, 1561. In-8 de 16 ff.n.ch., CCLXXVI ff.ch., 2 ff.n.ch., 1 f. chiffré CCLXXVII et 11 ff.n.ch.; vélin souple de l'époque Doe n° 11, p.46. Edition originale. Il s'agit d'une version considérablement augmentée de la Briefve collection de l'administration anatomique. Ambroise Paré avait décidé de publier ce manuel d'anatomie pour suppléer au manque d'ouvrages en français accessibles aux élèves chirurgiens-barbiers: seule la traduction française d'Estienne de 1546, de grand format et très onéreuse, était alors disponible. Il travailla donc pendant près de cinq ans à partir de séances de dissection soit privées, soit publiques avec Thierry de Héry et Jean Colombier à l'Ecole de Médecine. Il travailla aussi avec Rostan de Binosque pour cette seconde édition. Dans son avis Au lecteur, il reconnaît avoir largement puisé dans l'ouvrage de Vésale à qui il rend hommage. Le volume est illustré du portrait de Paré au verso du titre et de 49 gravures sur bois, les gravures d'anatomie étant inspirées de Vésale et celles de chirurgie de l'invention de Paré lui-même. "This book. is even more ambitious, artistically. The illustrations, particularly the finely engraved portrait, show the touch of the man who was engraver to the king" (Doe). Jean Le Royer avait été graveur du roi avant de devenir éditeur, avec le titre d'imprimeur du Roi à partir de 1560. Janet Doe signale plusieurs corrections typographiques : une languette de papier masque la partie inférieure du feuillet Nn4, le feuillet Nn5 est cartonné; le titre erroné "figure des muscles" au feuillet CCLXXV est aussi masqué par une languette de papier. La marge du titre et des deux premiers feuillets ont été très habilement restaurées. Bel exemplaire, grand de marges. Codice libro della libreria 8127

Descrizione libro: A Paris, Chez André Wechel, 1572., 1572. In-8 [164 x 105 millimètres] plein vélin postérieur à recouvrement, titre à l'encre sur le dos, [24]-470-[2] pages, 41 figures sur bois dans le texte et à pleine page. (Titre en fac-similé, quelques restaurations et salissures marginales.) Très rare édition des cinq livres de Chirurgie d'Ambroise Paré. Une édition de 1571, signalée par Brunet et Hoefer, apparaît comme un fantôme bibliographique dont il n'existe aucun exemplaire connu. Paré présente ici des sujets entièrement nouveaux, qui n'étaient pas abordés dans les Dix livres de 1564 : Des bandages. - Des fractures, avec 14 bois. - Des luxations, avec 18 bois. - Des morsures. - Des gouttes, avec 10 bois. Certains des bois gravés avaient déjà été utilisés pour illustrer l'Anatomie universelle de 1561 et les Dix livres, mais ceux touchant les fractures et les luxations paraissent ici pour la première fois. Le dernier chapitre du troisième livre sur les luxations : Apologie touchant les playes faites par harquebuzes, est une réponse aux critiques formulées par Julien LE PAULMIER sur l'emploi des suppuratifs dans le traitement des plaies défendu par Paré. Ce dernier finit par inviter son contradicteur à "corriger son livre le plustost qu'il pourra, pour ne retenir plus longuement les ieunes Chirurgiens en l'erreur, dont ils pourroyent avoir été imbus par la lecture d'iceluy : car les plus courtes folies sont les meilleures." "The Cinq livres has been called by several serious writers Paré's Chef d'Oeuvre (.) in it appears the first description of the fracture of the head 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. Lastly, we recognize here, as in no other book, the author's genial mode of presenting his material. It is undoubtedly one of his important works."

L.Ewer Hier muss besonders darauf hingewiesen werden, daß nur die deutsche(!) Erstausgabe so kostbar ist, während z.B. die späteren lateinischen Editionen wohlfeil zu erwerben sind. Janet DOE (No.56), die Bibliographin Parés, konnte von unserer deutschen Erstausgabe nur sehr wenige Exemplare in Bibliotheken nachweisen.Ambroise Paré (1510 - 1590). Paré war ein ländlicher Badergehilfe, als er im Jahre 1529 nach Paris kam. Im Verlauf seiner Tätigkeit im Hôtel-Dieu und während seines Dienstes als Heereschirurg in den französischen Religionskriegen rückte er jedoch zum ersten Chirurgen des 16. Jahrhunderts auf. Sein Ruhm war so groß, daß er, obwohl Hugenotte, durch königliches Edikt von dem Massenmord in der St.Bartholomäusnacht des Jahres 1572 verschont wurde. Paré, Arzt von vier Königen, war einer der größten Chirurgen aller Zeiten und ein bescheidener Mensch. Auf ein ihm erteiltes Lob antwortete er mit dem viel zitierten Ausspruch: "Je le pansai, Dieu le guarist." (Ich verband ihn, Gott heilte ihn).Paré war der Mann, der ganz neue Methoden für die Behandlung von Knochenbrüchen, Trepanationen, Amputationen, etc. entwickelte und den Chirurgen neue Wege wies. Seine größte Entdeckung war die Unterbindung der Arterien, wozu er gewachste Seide benutzte. Die Umstechung der Wunden und die geknüpfte Naht sind ihm zu verdanken. Er erleichterte die Geburt bei abnormen Zuständen durch die Wendung des Kindes und konstruierte sinnreiche künstliche Gliedmaßen, die eine Vielzahl von Verrichtungen, mechanisch auszuführen vermochten.Peter Uffenbach, Stadtarzt in Frankfurt, ein klassisch gebildeter Mediziner, besorgte die Übersetzung und deutsche Bearbeitung. Die Holzschnitte sind dieselben wie in der lateinischen "Opera" des Paré von 1594.1601, im Erscheinungsjahr der deutschen Erstausgabe, wird Kepler kaiserlicher Astronom und Astrologe, Shakespeare schreibt den Hamlet. Der politischen Zersplitterung und Schwäche Deutschlands geht die wirtschaftliche parallel.FIRST RARE GERMAN EDITION. Malgaigne in his introduction to his 1840 edition of Paré's works says that he has never seen a copy of the German edition, and quotes from Haller's Chirurgica Bibliotheca as to their existence.Paré, a humble Huguenot beginnings and poorly educated, became the sixteenth century's outstanding surgeon.

Kleine Fehlstellen fachmännisch restauriert.Ambroise Paré (1510-1590), one of the greatest surgical figures of the Renaissance and undoubtedly its finest surgeon, might well have been the first surgeon to include an illustration of the repaired hairelip in his surgical works. In 1564, Paré described his small obturators which he termed couvercles, but in a later text of 1575 he changed the terminology to obturateur, probably using this word for the first time in medical history. -cf.

Descrizione libro: Ambroise Paré (1510-1590), the celebrated French surgeon, in his several works treats very thoroughly of the diseases of the teeth, and their cure. At the age of sixteen, we find him in Paris employed as a barber. Under these conditions he was able to acquire a vast experience in the practice of dentistry. In his writings he gives a fairly correct account of the teeth; their number, position and size; of their attachment to and connection with adjoining structures.""Toothache, says Paré, is, of all others, the most atrocious pain that can torment man without being followed by death. It depends, in many cases, on a humorous fluxion of a hot or cold nature which flows into the alveolus, forcing the tooth outward, loosening it, and causing the patient so much pain on the slightest pressure being exercised upon it that he cannot dare to bite with it in the least. If, however, the tooth is corroded, hollowed out, or pierced to the root, the pain is so strong that, when the patient drinks, particularly if the liquid is cold, he seems to have had a stab with a stiletto inside the tooth.""If the pain is acute and pungent, like that produced by needles being thrust into the diseased tooth; if the patient complains of a strong pulsation at the root of the tooth, and in the temples; if the application of cold remedies calms the pain, all these signs indicate that the cause of the evil is heat. Instead, the cause of the pain may be held to be cold when the patient complains of a great heaviness in the head, emits a quantity of saliva, and finds a relief in the application of hot remedies. In the treatment of toothache one must fulfill the following three methods:"1. Regulate fittingly the mode of living."2. Evacuate or dissipate the morbid humors; this may be effected by various means, namely, by purgatives, by bleeding, by gingival scarification, by the application of leeches on the site of the pain, by cupping on the back of the neck, or on the shoulders."3. Applying in each single case the medicaments best adapted for calming the pain."Paré was, perhaps the first to mention the use of the palatal obturator. He says, 'sometimes a portion of the bone of the palate is destroyed by the shot of an arquebus, or some other wound or by a syphilitic ulcer, the patient being thereby disabled from properly pronouncing words and from making himself understood. To repair this defect we have found an expedient through the help and ministry of our art. It consists of the application of an instrument somewhat larger than the palatal perforation; this is made of gold or silver, of about the thickness of a crown (coin), and has the form of a vaulted roof to which a sponge is attached; when introduced into the aperture, the sponge, absorbing the humidity natural to such parts, will very soon swell up, and thus the instrument is held this way words are better pronounced.""He was undoubtedly one of the first to describe the process of transplantation though not from personal knowledge, but from report, and he mentions a case in which this operation was said to have been successful. He also gives minute directions for the extraction of teeth, and a chapter on 'the placing of teeth artificially made instead of those that are lost or wanting.' In this he says, 'Teeth artifically made of bone or ivory may be put in the place of those that are wanting, and they must be joined fast unto another and also fastened to the natural teeth adjoining, that are whole; and this must chiefly be done with a thread of gold or silver, or for want of either, with a common thread of silk or flax, as it is declared at large by Hippocrates.' Thus it appears that no improvement upon the Etruscan and Phoenician plans were in his time known to this author. The process of transplanting mentioned by Paré was strenuously advocated, more than two centuries later, by the distinguished physiologist, Hunter."B.W.Weinberger, Orthodontics, an historical review of its origin and evolution, pp. Codice libro della libreria 19426

Senza il ritratto di Parè. Esemplare con ampi margini. Prima rara (ed unica) edizione di questo trattato in cui l'autore mise in dubbio l'efficacia dell'uso del liocorno e della mummia in campo medicale. Nella presente copia è legata anche la (ancora più rara) risposta, datata 1584, nei confronti di un anonimo attacco contro il suo discorso sul liocorno. Nel trattato della mummia, il Parè illustra, talvolta in modo ironico, tutte le sue argomentazioni contro l'utilizzo di questa sostanza ricavata dai cadaveri. A suo avviso, sono maggiori gli svantaggi rispetto ai benefici che si traggono: sulla base della sua esperienza, la maggior parte dei pazienti, dopo aver assunto questo "farmaco", era colta da forti dolori allo stomaco, vomito ed altro ancora. D'altra parte, come dice l'autore, gli antichi ebrei, caldei ed egizi non si erano fatti imbalsamare per essere mangiati dai cristiani In un passo molto incisivo, il Parè scrive: "Or par ce discours du Iuif on voit comme on nous fait avaller indiscretement, & brutallemet la charogne puante & infecte des pendus, ou de la plus vile canaille de la populace d'Egypte, ou de verolez, ou pestiferez, ou ladres : comme s'il n'y avoit moyen de sauver un homme tombé de hault, contus & meurtry sinon en luy inserant, & comme entant un autre hommè dedans le corps, & s'il n'y avoit autre moyen de recouvrer santé, sinon que une plus que brutale inhumanité ". Ciononostante, la "mummia" verrà ancora utilizzata nel settecento sotto forma di impiastri, unguenti, tinture , ecc. Nel secondo trattato viene sferrato un duro attacco contro l'utilizzo del corno del liocorno che, secondo la tradizione medievale, aveva la caratteristica di neutralizzare tutti i veleni. Il Parè fa notare le incertezze associate alla natura dell'animale (dimensioni, colore, carattere, ecc.) e sostiene che si deve trattare di un osso o un corno di qualche mostro marino molto grande ("ie croy que ceste corne doibt estre quelque corne, os ou areste de quelque monstre marin merveilleusement grand"). Come noto, quello che veniva commerciato a peso d'oro, altro non era che uno dei due denti del narvalo che, nei maschi, è lungo anche più di due metri ed il cui andamento è a spirale sinistrorsa. Ambroise Parè (1509 -1590) nacque a Bourg en Hersent (presso Laval). Cominciò a lavorare a 13 anni apprendista presso un chirurgo-barbiere. Dopo poco tempo, a 19 anni, si trovava già presso l'ospedale Hôtel Dieu (oggi importante centro ospedaliero universitario). Cominciò ad intraprendere l'attività di chirurgo vero e proprio, partecipando alle campagne d'Italia dal 1536 al 1542, in accompagnamento al duca di Montejean. La sua bravura gli permise di diventare anche il chirurgo di ben quattro re di Francia (Enrico II, Francesco II, Carlo IX ed Enrico III). Introdusse l'utilizzo della disinfezione in alternativa ai metodi cruenti adottati fino ad allora (olio bollente seguito da cauterizzazione con un ferro rovente): sembra che, avendo esaurito le scorte, improvvisò un disinfettante a base di rosso d'uovo, olio di rose e trementina che si rivelò molto efficace Si cimentò, con successo, nei parti, in interventi complicati (elaborò, tra l'altro, una tecnica di legatura delle vene), nelle fratture e nelle amputazioni. Nel 1572, nella tristemente notte di S. Bartolomeo, riuscì a scampare alla morte (lui era di fede ugonotta) grazie anche al rapporto di amicizia che aveva con il re.

Questa edizione, in particolare, fece sì che il Parè diventasse popolare nel resto dell'Europa essendo il latino la lingua accademica universalmente riconosciuta. La prima edizione venne stampata in francese a Parigi nel 1575; la seconda (sempre in francese) risale al 1579. Le incisioni presenti in questa edizione sono le stesse della seconda edizione francese e rappresentano ferri chirurgici, tecniche di intervento, parti anatomiche, animali, protesi. A tal proposito si segnala che il Parè ideò una mano artificiale (molto interessante la relativa xilografia) che era fornita di dita mobili azionate da un sistema ingegnoso di leve e ingranaggi: la funzionalità era tale da permettere ad un cavaliere di condurre il proprio cavallo afferrandone le redini Molto interessanti le ultime parti che trattano di mostruosità ("De monstris et prodigiis") e di distillazione ("De distillationibus"), dove vengono illustrati, rispettivamente, animali mostruosi avvistati in varie regioni del mondo (Molucche, Etiopia, ecc) e le varie tecniche di estrazione (alambicchi forni, ecc). Molto divertente la xilografia che rappresenta "Dorotheæ multiplici sobole gravidæ effigies": per poter sorreggere il ventre enormemente ingrossato in seguito alla gravidanza (pare che abbia messo alla luce prima nove e poi undici bambini), doveva indossare una fascia che, passando dietro al collo, andava poi a sorreggere la pancia: "Scribit Franciscus Picus Mirandula Dorotheam Italam gemino partu viginti liberos peperisse. Primo quidem novem, altero autem undecim: adeò verò gravidam extintisse, ut aluum, quæ in genua procumbebat, lata & magna fascia ex cervicibus nodata fulcire cogeretur, ut subiecta imagine licet intueri". Ambroise Parè nacque nel 1509 a Bourg en Hersent (presso Laval). Cominciò a lavorare come barbiere (che, spesso, aveva anche la funzione di chirurgo) ma, presto, cominciò ad intraprendere l'attività di chirurgo vero e proprio partecipando alle campagne d'Italia dal 1536 al 1542. La sua bravura gli permise di diventare anche il chirurgo di ben quattro re di Francia (Enrico II, Francesco II, Carlo IX ed Enrico III). Introdusse l'utilizzo della disinfezione in alternativa ai metodi cruenti adottati fino ad allora (olio bollente seguito da cauterizzazione con un ferro rovente): sembra che, avendo esaurito le scorte, improvvisò un disinfettante a base di rosso d'uovo, olio di rose e trementina che si rivelò molto efficace Si cimentò, con successo, nei parti, in interventi complicati (elaborò, tra l'altro, una tecnica di legatura delle vene), nelle fratture e nelle amputazioni. Dopo una vita travagliata passata spesso anche sui campi di battaglia, si dedicò alla stesura dei suoi numerosi libri. Morì il 20 dicembre 1590. ENGLISH TRANSLATION ON REQUEST.

Descrizione libro: Apud Iacobvm Dv-pvys, Parisiis, 1582. hardcover. Condizione libro: 2. FIRST LATIN EDITION; third edition overall. "No third French edition appears to have been published, its place supposedly being taken by the first Latin translation in 1582 This, the first Latin edition, has been long regarded as taking the place of a third French edition, since no third has ever been found and since this one lies between the second, 1579, and the fourth, 1585, edition of the Oeuvres I think we can take it as conclusive that the 1582 Opera represented to Paré his third edition. It must at least have been planned as early as 1577, when he failed to include, among those he gave to Viart as a wedding gift, the books which were still to be published ‘as well in Latin as in French’" [Doe]. "The reputed translator-editor, Jacques Guillemeau, was an excellent classical scholar and the lifelong friend of Paré But although Paré’s Opera is known as Guillemeau’s translation, and is so indicated on the title-page, it was in reality the work of someone else, unidentified, Guillemeau states, in his dedication to Miron, that the translation was, in fact, made by a friend who did not wish his name to appear." [Doe] In the process of being translated from the French into Latin, the work became available to all the nations of Europe as Latin was the lingua franca of scholarship. But, unfortunately, the translator, "took great liberties with the French text: using the second edition of 1579, he altered, inserted, subtracted even whole chapters, where it suited him. He sometimes inverts the original order and sometimes paraphrases the text The translation cannot be trusted, except with reservations, but it is at least useful to consult where the original is difficult to understand. The shortcomings of this edition are the more distressing in that they are, of course, continued in al the subsequent editions based on this one, namely, the Latin, English, and German editions." [Doe]. "The fifth and most complete edition, containing the first printing of Paré’s final revisions, was published in Paris, 1598. English translation by Thomas Johnson, London, 1634 (from the 1582 Latin translation of the second [1579] edition." [Garrison & Morton].

La prima edizione fu seguita da una edizione aumentata nel 1579. Aggiunte presentano anche la quarta edizione del 1585 e la quinta edizione del 1598, che uscì postuma.Da questa edizione in poi il testo rimase costante, ad eccezione del Trattato sulle febbri di autore anonimo, che fu inserito per la prima volta nell’ottava edizione del 1628. Tutte le successive edizioni lionesi, a partire dalla prima del 1633, sono inferiori per qualità di carta e per cura editoriale. Dopo la presente edizione l’opera di Paré non fu più stampata fino alla metà dell’Ottocento.Le numerose figure anatomiche, che mostrano strumenti chirurgici, animali veri e leggendari, piante esotiche e esseri mostruosi, conferiscono a quest’opera un fascino incomparabile.Ambroise Paré fu il più grande chirurgo del suo tempo dopo Vesalio. Egli impresse alla chirurgia un rapido e decisivo progresso. Barbiere-chirurgo dell’esercito dal 1537, vi acquisì vasta esperienza, soprattutto durante le campagne in Italia. Fu poi chirurgo di Enrico II e dei tre successivi re di Francia. Portò ardite innovazioni nella tecnica chirurgica; dimostò i grandi vantaggi che si potevano ottenere nel trattamento delle ferite con la medicazione semplice, invece che con l’applicazione di olio bollente; eseguì con successo fino ad allora inconsueto l’operazione del labbro leporino e la legatura delle arterie; propose l’introduzione in chirurgia del trapano a corona e l’applicazione di cinti e di protesi; fu inoltre maestro di ostetricia.J.
