Lazare de Baïf 1496-1547 was a French humanist classical scholar translator of Sophocles' Electra and ambassador to Venice who flourished in the enlightened reign of François I to whom his delightfully illustrated book on captivities and the naval science of the ancients is dedicated; the book is edited by Charles Estienne. His close connection to the classical humanists in François I's circle has led some to speculate that the fine woocuts herein came from the worshop of Geoffroy Tory.

165929260Lyons: Antoine Cellier 1659. <p>First Description of Aortic Stenosis</p> <p>RIVIERE Lazare 1589-1655. Observationum medicarum & curationum insignium centurae tres. . . .

Some foxing browning & dampstaining old repair to one leaf. Very good copy. Old signature and notes on endpapers.</p> <p> First Edition. Riviere was the first to describe stenosis of the aortic valve from a case that he treated in 1646. GM 2727 cites Riviere's description of this condition in his Opera medica universa 1674 of which the present work is the first edition; the description appears here on p. 177 and is entitled "Cordis palpitatio & pulsus inaequalitas." Riviere also brought Paracelsian iatrochemistry into the curriculum of the University of Montpellier and it was under his auspices that Alexander Fraser introduced the Harviean theory of the circulation into the University's curriculum in 1636. An edition of the present work was published in The Hague in the same year as this Lyons edition. As Riviere was French it is reasonable to presume that the Lyons edition was first. Hirsch.
