François Boissier de Sauvages wrote this comprehensive symptom-based classification called Nosology after the science that deals with the systematic classification of diseases. The author a professor of medicine and botany at Montpellier presents clinical cases classified according to the methods of Thomas Sydenham considering mainly the symptoms and the morphology of the disease and showing much more interest in the diagnosis of disease and for its care. The beginnings of the systematic model in medicine appear early in the writings of Sydenham. A friend of Locke and admirer of Francis Bacon Sydenham called for the setting aside of hypotheses and philosophical systems in favor of a natural description or history of all diseases. He took the significant step of asserting that as there were species of plants so too there were species of disease. This implied that diseases were distinct entities not merely disturbances blending into one another and that these distinct entities could be systematically grouped or classified. This Sauvages magnum opus arranged its objects in classes orders and genera as well as species. Like Sydenham Sauvages distrusted contemporary physiological theories and rejected the idea that a classification of diseases could be based on knowledge of their underlying causes. He insisted that classification be based instead on study of directly observable symptoms. Species definition depended largely on designation of the various circumstances in which symptoms might appear. Species proliferated accordingly finally reaching 2400 divided into 315 genera 44 orders and 10 classes. Sauvages and his contemporary Carl Linnaeus set the pattern for the nosology of the latter 18th century. There is a clustering of nosological treatises in the 1760s and 1770s. Vogel published at Göttingen in 1764; Cullen at Edinburgh in 1772; Macbride at Dublin in 1775; Sagar at Vienna in 1776; and Vitel at Lyons in 1778. All followed Sauvages in departing from Sydenhams original emphasis within the systematic program. Rather than seeking new more accurate descriptions of disease the nosologists of the latter 18th century took existing descriptions and tried to catalogue and group them usually on the basis of symptoms.

Good binding and cover. Wear to extremities. Latin. Clean unmarked pages. <br><br> Francois Boissier de Sauvages de Lacroix May 12 1706 - February 19 1767 was a French physician and botanist who was a native of Als. He was a good friend to famed Swedish naturalist Carl von Linn 1707-1778 to whom Sauvages de Lacroix sent botanical specimens from southern France for study and classification. Linn designated the genus Sauvagesia from the family of Ochnaceae in honor of his French colleague and in 1748 he was elected a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences of which Linn had been a co-founder. The following year he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. As a physician Sauvages de Lacroix is credited with establishing the first methodical nosology for diseases. His classification was based on the framework created by Thomas Sydenham 1624-1689 and was in accordance with the methodology used by botanists. His classification system listed 10 major classes of disease which were further broken down into 44 orders 315 genera and 2400 species individual diseases. This system is explained in his 1763 treatise Nosologia Methodica which was an inspiration to Philippe Pinel 1745-1826 and his early work with mental illnesses.

176680007à Paris: Par la Compagnie de libraires 1766. Fine. Par la Compagnie de libraires à Paris 1766 9.50 x 17 cm 5 volumes reliés New edition. Contemporary full marbled calf binding. Smooth spine decorated. Red morocco title-labels garnet morocco volume labels. Headcaps of volumes I II and V partly worn. Lacking at tail of volume I. 4 corners slightly bumped throughout the set. Speckled edges. One wormhole to lower joint at head of volume III. Despite minor defects a handsome copy. The work presents itself as the translation by orientalist Pétis de la Croix of a manuscript given to him in friendship by ""Dervis Moclès"" the Faithful Dervish p. 49 who had himself translated and adapted Persian tales from Indian stories moreover sufficiently prized to be also known in a Turkish version under the title of al-Farage bada al-schidda1 p. 49. Thus anchored in Islamic literary tradition to which Pétis de la Croix had actual access through his training this corpus was then compared to the Arabian Nights and deliberately followed in its wake. A particular literary creation of the 18th century these tales borrowed from real Oriental sources while being at the same time pure creations but following the model of imitation and adaptation the author even going so far as to reverse the narrative mode of the Arabian Nights: a prince prejudiced against women; and in the Thousand and One Days it is a princess prejudiced against men. Some critics think that these tales would have been originally conceived to provide a sequel for publisher Barbin to the Arabian Nights of which 2 tales are found at the end of volume VIII.
