Quatre trésors de la biu-santé, pôle pharmacie (2016)

unapi

This paper focuses on some treasures held at the Bibliothèque Inter Universitaire de Santé of the University Paris-Descartes. Two of these are treasures because of their origin. These two books had been printed in Strasburg during the 16th century. The first one is a sample of Dioscorides’ "De Materia Medica" enriched with magnificent dropped initial capital letters representing an episode of the Bible. It was a gift made by Iohannes du Boys, the apothecary of the brother of King Henry III, the duke of Alençon. This apothecary was also the author of a pharmacopoeia entitled "In Methodum Miscendorum Medicamentorum." The second treasure was a collection of many titles, most of these having been written by Valerius Cordus. This book was a part of a gift of nine pieces made by apothecaries from Paris. This gift, in 1570, is considered as the foundation of apothecaries’ library. The 17th century is also present with a book of 208 pages of preprints of the second edition of the "Histoire Générale des Drogues" by Pierre Pomet, enriched with many notes written by the author himself. This edition was not finished when Pierre Pomet died, and it was never published. From the same century, for historical reasons, the Essays by Jean Rey (1630) must be selected. The book kept by the library is the one that has been used by Pierre Bayen to study the work of Jen Rey, a forgotten precursor of Lavoisier’s discoveries, and by Gobet to prepare a second edition of the book.
