JEAN JACQUES MANGET (1652-1742) Bibliotheca medico-practica. Sumptibus Joannis Anthonii Chouët 1695-1698 Vol. I: [10] 1230 pp.; Vol. II: 1162 pp.; Vol. III: 872 pp.; Vol. IV: 1133 pp. 35.2 cm.

Manget, a Swiss physician and savant, specialized in encyclopedic works and collections of the works of scientists and medical writers, but he also made some purely medical contributions, particularly on tuberculosis. The present work is an encyclopedia of practical medicine and surgery, arranged alphabetically by disease. Almost nothing is omitted, ranging as it does from abortus to vulnus, and including even stupidity!

Gift of John Martin, M.D.
