Seconda edizione, ma prima stampata in Italia, di questa celebre opera del grande medico francese Phileppe Hecquet. L’autore studiò medicina a Parigi e a Remis dove ottenne il titolo di dottore. Dopo aver ottenuto il titolo iniziò a praticare l’arte medica diventando presto celebre ed avendo numerosi clienti fra la grande nobiltà francese ma affiancando anche, a questa attività, una profonda riflessione religiosa che lo portò a passare molto tempo a curare i malati indigenti. Fu anche rettore dell’Università di Parigi. Grande fisiologo e patologo, le sue opere sono considerate come classici nel loro campo. Cercò di dimostrare come le cause delle malattie non fossero da ricercare solo in meri processi fisico-chimici ma anche come l’aspetto psicologico del paziente potesse influenzare la nascita ed il decorso di patologie mediche. Le sue opere rientrano anche nella bibliografia vegetariana in quanto Hecquet fu un acceso sostenitore della dieta vegetariana che considerava molto più salutare e utile di quella a base di carne . Arrivò a teorizzare che il consumo di carne fosse assolutamente non naturale per l’uomo. Quest’opera contiene il punto di vista dell’autore relativo alla fisiologia umana (prima parte) e, nella seconda parte, la descrizione delle cause delle febbri intermittenti e di varie altre patologie, con indicazioni utili alla loro prevenzione, cura con vaire indicazioni dietetiche utili ad aiutare il corpo umano a combattere le malattie. Alla fine della prima parte è presente la celebre descrizione dell’epidemia di peste che colpì la costa meridionale francese della quale, Hecquet fu testimone diretto. Seconda edizione ancora in barbe ed in buone-ottime condizioni di conservazione.
