A propos de cet article

A substantial and carefully organized French medical recipe book, late 17thâ"early 18th century, divided into two parts with separate tables of contents (ca. 60â"70 remedies in total). Remedies are neatly written in ink with ruled margins, rubrication, and flourished headers, demonstrating a deliberate, âfinishedâ compilation rather than casual notes. The collection covers an impressive breadth of ailments: pulmonary consumption (tuberculosis), hemorrhage, kidney and liver troubles, colic, indigestion, fluxions of the chest and head, hemorrhoids, toothache, eruptions, and even âvapours hystà riques.â Recipes employ early modern materia medicaâ"herbs, oils, honey, eggs, roots, metals such as lead and mercuryâ"revealing the overlap of folk medicine, Galenic tradition, and proto-scientific pharmacy. On the title-page is a large red wax armorial seal (oval, c. 22 à 18 mm), impressed with a quarterly shield: in each quarter a chevron charged with three cinquefoils/roses. The repetition across all four quarters suggests an established family coat rather than an alliance. This style is consistent with Burgundian/Champenois families of the late 17th century, and further research in the Armorial Gà nà ral de France could secure a precise attribution, significantly enhancing provenance and value. The manuscriptâs completeness, handsome marbled endpapers, and intact wax seal make it a rich survival of vernacular medical practice in Ancien Rà gime France, highly desirable to collectors of medical history, womenâs domestic roles in healthcare, and the cultural history of pharmacology. Institutions have been actively acquiring such recipe books for teaching collections in history of medicine, gender studies, and early modern science. Handsome two-part French manuscript medical recipe book (c. 1690â"1720), c. 60â"70 remedies, in contemporary calf with marbled endpapers and a large red wax armorial seal (quarterly, chevron with cinquefoils). A comprehensive vernacular manual of early modern domestic medicine. Fair to Good. Binding rubbed, joints cracked, spine chipped, but complete and unsophisticated. Marbled endpapers attractive. Text block clean and fresh, ink bold and legible, with neat tables of contents. Wax seal intact though with minor cracks. Contemporary full calf, spine gilt in compartments with red morocco label (âREMEDEâ), rubbed and worn with losses at head and tail, joints cracked but holding. Corners rounded, surface scuffed. Attractive marbled endpapers. Text block fresh, in a neat, legible cursive hand with rubricated sectioning Manuscript on paper, French, late 17thâ"early 18th century.…

Description de la boutique

About Us El Sabio Books Inc. was founded in Calgary by David and Sean O’Neil, a partnership built on a shared fascination with history, philosophy, and the written word. Our journey began when a visit to a local antiquarian bookshop led to the discovery of a remarkable collection: a bulk lot of sixteenth to eighteenth century volumes found in a modest house in Humboldt, Minnesota, a quiet rural town far from any major center of the book trade. When offered the chance to see them, we found a beautiful compilation of survivors of centuries past. The idea that such a trove of knowledge and craftsmanship had resurfaced in a small Midwestern town was astonishing. When Aquila Books offered the collection for sale as a single lot, we recognized the opportunity and decided to purchase it together. If that chance had not been offered, El Sabio Books would never have begun. That decision marked the start of a family enterprise devoted to preserving and sharing the intellectual and artistic legacy contained in these works. With the generous guidance and early support of Aquila Books, one of Canada’s leading antiquarian booksellers, and the technical assistance of Bibliopolis, El Sabio Books took shape around a clear mission: to safeguard the words that have shaped civilization. We believe the words written in these books are history itself, fixed, enduring, and immune to revision. They stand as the unaltered record of human thought. Our purpose is to act as custodians of that word, protecting and presenting it with the respect it deserves, because within it lies the foundation of knowledge and truth that connects all generations. Today, El Sabio Books is a growing family business dedicated to careful research, accurate cataloguing, and respect for the craftsmanship of past centuries. Our goal is to connect modern readers and collectors with the enduring wisdom of the past, to keep alive the voices, ideas, and artistry that have guided human understanding for hundreds of years.…
