Sauvage de Verdun

De la peste. Followed by short works on epidemic diseases, with special reference to Verdun. Preceded by two very rare printed works: Anly (J. d') Brief traicté. Verdun. 1631. Simonin. Remèdes contre la peste. Verdun. 1631. Author's holograph MS. Contents: Sauvage de Verdun. De la peste (pp. 1-72). -. Du typhus ou fièvre typhode [sic], maladie des camps, fièvre maligne des camps, des prisons, des hôpitaux, etc. (pp. 73-96). Laurent (C.) Relation de l'épidémie qui a regné à Mayence pendant le mois de décembre 1813 et le premier trimestre de 1814 (pp. 96-127). Sauvage de Verdun. Pestes et maladies contagieuses à Verdun à diverses époques (30 ll.). On the t.p. of the second printed work is the signature 'Sauvage doct. Med.', and on the verso is pasted the upper half of his armorial book-plate. A pencilled note on a fly-leaf states that Sauvage is probably the author of the MS. Produced in Verdun.
