[WEBER, Georges Adolph].
Exposition systématique de tous les médicamens qui on été soumis à l'expérience pour reconnaitre leur véritable action.
s.l., s.n., 1831.
More Details >
1200 €
Manuscript proposing one of the first directories of homeopathic medicines in the French language through a translation of the work by Georg Adolph Weber: "Systematische Darstellung der reinen Arzneiwirkungen aller bisher geprüften Symptome" published in German in 1831.
The work will not be published in French only in 1833 with a translation by the Swiss homeopath Peschier under the title "Systematic exposition of the pure pathogenetic effects of all the remedies put to date in experience" (Geneva, Cherbuliez, 1833).
Our manuscript uses the same two-part structure as the German edition and should probably precede the French edition. The binding is typical of the 1830s, we are thus at the very beginning of the development of homeopathy in Europe under the impetus of the German school directed by Hannemahn (1755-1843) of whom Weber was a disciple.
It is in Switzerland and in Lyon that homeopathy in French language develops, Count Sébastien Des Guidi creates in 1830 the Homeopathic Society Lyonnaise and opens its consultations, there are 5 or 6 homeopaths in France in 1832 then 25 in 1833, 52 in 1835. (Cf. Bariety, "The beginnings of homeopathy in France", 1969)
Witness to the beginnings of homeopathy in France.

[MANUSCRIT].
Dictionnaire d'Agriculture avec un abrégé de médecine rurale et vétérinaire.
s.l., s.n., 1786.
More Details >
800 €
Original manuscript.
The content seems to include a selection of articles from Abbé Rozier's Cours complet d'agriculture which was published in the form of a dictionary from 1781 to 1800.
Our dictionary stops at the article "Rhue des jardins" which will not appear than in 1789 in Volume VIII of the Cours de Rozier.
Our manuscript, whose writer is unknown, is dated 1786, when Rozier was then a professor at the Practical School of Agriculture in Lyon. This manuscript may therefore be a transcription of the course given by Rozier in Lyon before its publication.

[LIVRE d'HEURES ENLUMINÉ].
Livre d’Heures à l’usage de Paris.
s.l., s.n., [circa 1420].
More Details >
33000 €
From a follower of the Boucicaut Master.
The painter uses an extensive palette with sharp contrasts, and does not hesitate to use a bright minium red that he contrasts with the blues and greens in the happiest of ways.
The abstract backgrounds and the systematic use of a grassy ground, give to the whole manuscript a beautiful coherence and a great elegance.
Some of the preserved paintings, such as those of the Annunciation to the Shepherds, the Crucifixion, and St. Margaret, bear witness to the artist's talent and the high quality of this manuscript.
It should be noted that the composition of the The Flight into Egypt is closely mirrors of a Boucicaut composition.
