Les Figures des plantes et animaux d'usage en medecine, a Rare Work Published by F. A. P. de Garsault in 1764 (2008)

unapi

Between 1764 and 1767 the artist and naturalist F. A. P. de Garsault published several editions of the five-volume work Les figures des plantes et animaux d'usage en medecine, in which hundreds of plants (four volumes) and animals (one volume) were figured and presented with French and Latin names. A strict absence of polynominal Latin names in the animal volume is a surprising contrast to the botanical volumes where many polynominal names were used. Although several Latin zoological names entered taxonomy in the years after 1764, some of which are still in current usage, the rare work has remained almost unknown to zoologists. Zoologists presumably have not found the work any more in libraries since long before 1900, because in zoological publications work and taxa have erroneously been attributed to the physician and zoologist E. L. Geoffroy, while in botanical bibliographies Garsault's true authorship was maintained.
