Modern sprinkled calf ruled in blind and decoratively blind-stamped, spine with five raised bands forming six compartments and gilt-lettered black morocco lettering-piece in second compartment with gilt date at foot First edition of Markham's revised English translation of Estienne and Liebault's important late-sixteenth century work on animal husbandry, gardening, and country living. Markham, the most prolific English writer on agriculture and farming in the first half of the seventeenth century, adapts herein a work by Charles Estienne (Charles Stevens). "It was first published in Latin as the Praedium Rusticum in 1554. Estienne himself translated it into French and Liebault brought it out shortly after Estienne's death in 1564. Surflet's first English translation appeared in 1600." [Hunt] This first Markham edition, based on the Surflet translation, is noted for its additions, as well as its rarity. Fussell refers to this adapation of Estienne's work as being among Markham's most important works on farming. The text on the verso of the title, under the caption "The Contents," gives an accurate description of the work: "There is contained in this last Edition, whatsoever can be required for the building, or good ordering, of a Husbandmans House, or Countrey Farme; as namely, to foresee the changes and alterations of Times; to know the motions, and powers, of the Sunne and Moone, upon the things about which Husbandry is occupied: as to cure the sicke labouring Man; to cure Beasts and flying Fowles of all sorts; to dresse, plant, or make Gardens, as well as for the Kitchin, and Physicke use, as also in Quarters." The description continues on to touch a variety of subjects, including the planting and care of trees, the keeping of bees, the making of wine and beer, and the distilling of liquor, as well as hunting and hawking. The illustrations include several full-page woodcut plans for knot gardens (pp.257-275), a garden labyrinth (p.276), a tobacco plant (p.217), plus large woodcuts of a cow (p.99) and horse (p.138) with references to various ailments, among several others images. The present example is a complete copy of a scarce book, often found defective. Arents 123. Bitting, pp.146-147. ESTC S121357. Fussell, p.28. Goldsmiths 451. Hunt 202. Kress 353. McDonald, p.90.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very good. FIRST FRENCH EDITION OF THIS GYNAECOLOGICAL HANDBOOK First edition thus 8vo. pp. (xvi) 923 (i) (xvi). Roman letter, some Italic. Woodcut printer's device to t-p, depicting Christ with the Samaritan woman at the well, fine woodcut initials and head-pieces. One or two later ms. marginal notes. Very light waterstaining, mostly marginal, to first few leaves and index. Small wormhole to t-p, not affecting text. A very good, clean copy in contemp. vellum, a little soiled, fore-edges chewed, lacking ties, in modern box. First French edition (translated from the Latin De sanitate, faecunditatae et morbis mulierum of the same year) of this gynaecological handbook by Jean Liébault (c.1535-1596), doctor and agronomist. It was one of the very first vernacular works, designed for the laywoman, about the female physical condition. Liébault was born in Dijon but moved to Paris to study medicine, where he became a successful doctor, highly esteemed by both colleagues and patients. He married Nicole Estienne, daughter of the great Parisian printer Charles Estienne (1504-1564), who had himself studied medicine under Jacob Sylvius alongside the young Vesalius. Liébault completed and translated his father-in-law's Praedium rusticum into French as La maison rustique (1564); a translation of Gesner's Quatres livres des secrets de médecine followed in 1573. Trois livres de la santé was the first of two works on feminine health and beauty he published in 1582: De l'ornement & beautez des Femmes is advertised in the present work. Madame Liébault, a noted femme des lettres, was herself the author of Misères de la femme mariée, mises en forme de stances, and the manuscript Apologie pour les femmes, contre ceux qui en médisent. She predeceased her husband by some years; the contemporary diarist Pierre de L'Estoile records that Liébault died suddenly, after sitting down to rest on a stone in the rue Gervais-Laurent. Liébault's introduction to the present work laments the infinite number of maladies which accompany any person through his or her life, 'mais plus griefues en affliction tormentent le corps de la femme comme celuy de l'homme'. Woman, he takes care to emphasise, 'n'est animant mutile ny imparfaict, mais foible & maladif'. His work describes and suggests causes and remedies - often more than one - for a range of gynaecological complaints, in chronological order from childhood to motherhood; Liébault does not advise on the maladies of women beyond child-bearing age. Young girls, he notes, may be subject to nervous illnesses, nausea, headache and neuralgia. He deals with menstruation, venereal disease and various renal and gastro-intestinal problems, before proceeding to the subject of conception and childbirth, which occupies the greatest portion of the book. Obesity, male and female, is listed among the causes of infertility; common birth defects are described, along with less common ones such as hermaphroditism. Alongside a discussion of family resemblance in young children (with a gentle reminder that even animals and plants have an urge to reproduce in their own image), Liébault also addresses the question of when a child receives its soul. Of particular interest is the chapter devoted to the performance of caesarean section, which, given the high mortality rate, is advised only as a last resort: the first modern caesarean section which the mother is known to have survived had been performed as recently as 1500. Liébault concludes with advice on the treatment of the newborn and the new mother. The work contains a detailed table of contents and index, and a brief list of errata.

Couverture rigide. Condizione: Bon. [16]-923-[21] pp. À Paris, chez Jacques du Puys à la Samaritaine, 1582, in-8, [16]-923-[21] pp, Veau havane du XVIIIe siècle, dos à nerfs et fleuronné, pièce de titre rouge, Bien complet des deux derniers feuillets blancs (Nn7 et Nn8). Très rare et importante première édition française, parue simultanément à l'édition latine, de cet ouvrage précurseur de la gynécologie moderne, par le gendre de l'éminent anatomiste Charles Estienne. L'éditeur, Jacques du Puys, en a donné deux tirages : le nôtre, titré Trois livres appartenant aux infirmités et maladies des femmes, et un second, où a été retiré le terme dépréciatif d' "infirmité" ; Trois livres de la santé, foecundite et maladies des femmes. Jean Liébault (1535-1596), médecin originaire de Dijon, agronome et alchimiste à ses heures, avait épousé Nicole Estienne, l'une des rares femmes de lettres de son époque, fille du célèbre imprimeur et anatomiste parisien ; ce dernier avait confié à son gendre la révision de son Théâtre d'agriculture (la Maison rustique). Au demeurant, les principales publications de Liébault tournent autour de la santé et de la beauté des femmes. Le présent ouvrage est une adaptation, et non une traduction, du traité gynécologique de l'Italien Giovanni Marinello, Le medicine partenenti alle infermità delle donne (1563, réédition augmentée en 1574), concernant les maladies des femmes et leur traitement ; il en reprend la structure et conserve une approche semblable de l'équilibre au sein du couple. Le texte de Liébault se démarque néanmoins par de nombreuses références aux médecins anciens et contemporains ; il revendique en particulier l'héritage d'Hippocrate, dont les oeuvres avait été traduites en latin depuis peu, en s'intéressant aux maladies des femmes en dehors du seul contexte de l'obstétrique - tout en maintenant l'idée d'un corps féminin défini par sa fonction procréatrice : ainsi, il reconnait comme nécessaire une partie de la médecine qui prendra plus tard le nom de gynécologie. Son travail sera réédité en 1585 sous le titre de Thrésor des remèdes secrets pour les maladies des femmes. Ex-libris manuscrit ancien biffé sur la garde blanche et longue annotation manuscrite au revers. Étiquette de la bibliothèque de Jean Rouché.
