Beschreibung

"Third edition" of this important extensive and comprehensive dictionary of active substances in alphabetical order that can possibly be used as medicine: composites and simples respectively giving the sources, virtues, doses, and therapeutic action of the various medicaments. It is considered, together with Lémery s Pharmacopée universelle - one of the most authoritative pharmacopoeia of 18th-century Europe - as one of the two complementary works which form Lémery s chief contributions to pharmacy. This "third edition" is probably the first of the three pirated editions published in the Netherlands: the notation for the publisher ( aux dépens de la Compagnie ) suggests this. The second followed a year later, also in Amsterdam; the third appeared in Rotterdam in 1727 with the publisher Jean Hofhout. TWith the armorial bookplate of Bangor ("Sub cruce salus". Head of spine worn, spine slightly rubbed, some plates cut off in the upper margin with loss of the plate number, otherwise in good condition.l Blake, p. 264; Wellcome III, p. 488; for the author: J.C. Powers, "Ars sine arte": Nicolas Lémery and the end of alchemie in 18th-century France , in: Ambix, 45 (3), pp. 163-189; DSB, VIII, pp. 172-175; Hirsch, III, 665; Oliv.
