Abdeker undertakes to impart to his beloved all the means by which to preserve her striking looks. The conceit allows Le Camus to convey practical hygienic and cosmetic advice to his readership providing advice on the use of a plethora of ointments and unguents to preserve to skin quality lists of which appear at the end of each volume. The work was reissued in 1756 with the addition of a further two parts. These two supplements lacked literary or medical merit and were excluded from the third edition of 1774.

#[71975]Amsterdam Les Libraires Associés 1774 complete two parts in one volume 135128pp. modern half vellum binding linen boards original uneven edges gilt title on spine in this book a young medical doctor is in love with a woman from the harem of the sultan of Contsantinopel and he explains the art of remaining beautiful. Supposedly translated from an Arabic text. l Abdeker ou l'art de conserver la beauté 1754 raconte l'histoire d'un amour interdit entre Abdeker un jeune médecin attaché au soin des femmes du sérail du sultan à Constantinople et la splendide Fatmé joyau par son inégalable beauté autant que par sa douceur d'âme de ce même sérail. Pour déjouer la méfiance des eunuques et multiplier les occasions de rendre visite à sa bien-aimée Abdeker entreprend de lui transmettre tous les moyens pour une femme de conserver la beauté. Causes physiques causes morales rien n'est omis ; il pénètre jusque dans le sanctuaire des plaisirs tout en se gardant prétend-il d'effaroucher les Grâces qui en gardent l'entrée. La forme singulière de cet ouvrage piquera sans doute la curiosité des lecteurs. Abdeker est un médecin mais un médecin amoureux qui initie sa maîtresse la plus belle femme de l'univers dans tous les mystères de la beauté ; et après avoir lu son livre on est instruit de tous les secrets de son art en croyant n'avoir lu que l'histoire de ses amours.L'auteur a recours à une fiction amoureuse l'amour d'un médecin pour une femme du harem pour transmettre aux lecteurs un savoir hygiénique et cosmétique. Abdeker prodigue donc ses conseils remèdes et recettes à la belle Fatmé formant ainsi un recueil de pommades huiles poudres savons pastilles onguent infusion décoction talc . toutes dédiées à la beauté du corps. La première édition de ce texte à paru en 1754 rééditée en 1756 avec une augmentation de deux parties. Ces deux suppléments furent jugés sans intérêt littéraire et médical et ne furent pas repris dans cette 3ème édition de 1774. Antoine Le Camus en dehors de ses qualités de poète était bien médecin il exerça à Paris jusqu'au début de l'anné 1772 où il mourut à l'âge de 50 ans. Cf. la belle pésentation de ce texte par Alexandre WENGER en préface de la réédition de 2008 chez Jérôme Millon. hardcover
