This is the second edition of the French translation of Du Laurens' collected works. From what is known about his works, it appears that the French translation preceded the publication of the Latin text. In addition to the author's textbook of anatomy and his account of scrofula, the volume contains works on geriatrics, melancholy and other mental afflictions, and an early ophthalmological work which describes the anatomy and diseases of the eye. The volume has an exceptionally well-engraved title page, the author's engraved portrait, and numerous historiated and ornamental woodcut initials.
