Traitè des médicamens

Traitè des médicamens où l'on explique leur nature, leur vertu et la maniere dont ils agissent, avec les moyens de s'en servir pour la guérison des maladies. Le tout enrichi de plusieurs observations curieuses suivant le sentiment et les expériences des médecins modernes. Author's holograph MS. An unpublished and apparently unrecorded MS by Giberti who received his Doctorate in Medicine at Avignon in 1690, and after a stay in Paris, returned to his native town of Pernes in 1695 where he remained for the rest of his long life. At the end of the 'Table' the author has added 'achevé vers l'an 1706'. The enormous work on hygiene-the next entry in this Catalogue, is also holograph and unpublished. It is almost certainly of later date than the present MS. Produced in Pernes.

1706

1 volume 10 ll. (first bl.). + 908 pp. + 35 ll. folio. 31 × 21 cm. Original vellum binding.

Another large work by the author 'L'Histoire de la Ville de Pernes' remained in MS. in the Bibliothèque de Carpentras until 1923, when it was published at Marseilles, edited by Hubert Giraud and Henri Barre. A copy is in the B.M. Library.
