"This is the second edition of the French translation of Du Laurens collected works. which 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 opthalmological 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 historical and ornamental woodcut initials." Heirs of Hippocrates p. 144. According to Krivatsy the French translation of Du Laurens Opera Omnia was first published by P. Mettayer in Paris in 1613 and was reprinted by Raphael Du Petit Val in Rouen in 1621. Our copy has an engraved title signed by du Petit Val in Rouen but dated 1613; the Rouen librairie presumably recycled some of the original Paris-printed titles modifying the original engraving with a cancel. Du Laurens 1558-1609 was the court physician to Marie de Medicis and Henry IV and previously had been professor at the University of Montpellier.
