  • Couverture rigide. Etat : Très bon. in-8, (4), XLII, 349, (1) pp., 3 planches dépl. , demi-veau havane de l'époque, dos lisse orné, coiffes frottées, tranches jaunes, bel exemplaire.Première édition de la traduction française d'après l?édition latine, ?De morbo mucosa, 1762? (Garrison & Morton, 5021). On y trouve une étude détaillée de la fièvre typhoïde, qui est cependant confondue avec d'autres affections intestinales (dysenterie et fièvre récurrente). Les lésions de la muqueuse intestinale sont figurées sur les planches. Parmi les causes de l'affection, les auteurs suspectent le rôle de l'eau de boisson, contaminée par "des eaux sales et stercoreuses". Johann Georg Roederer (1727-1763), né à Strasbourg, où il étudia la médecine, devint professeur à Goettingue. Il fut médecin du roi d'Angleterre.

    Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. 2nd Edition. SECOND EDITION, enlarged. 8 vo. Contemp. Italian limp boards, uncut. (4), xxxviii, (4, blank), 331, (1) pp. Three folding engraved plates. Light uniform browning more so to the plates; a very good copy. G-M 5021 (first ed., Göttingen, 1762). A classic of communicable diseases, the second entry under enteric fever in Garrison-Morton, preceded by Willis' description of epidemic typhoid in 1659. This second edition is augmented with the editor's preface, a 32 page description of 'Trichuris', a new dedication and a brief introduction. The author of this new material is H.A. Wrisberg (1739-1808), professor of anatomy at Göttingen, discoverer of the nervus intermedius ('nerve of Wrisberg'), see G-M 1252, and author of 'Observationum de animalculis infusoriis satura' (1765) in which he introduced the term 'infusoria' in the modern sense. J.G. Roederer (1726-63), the first professor of obstetrics at Göttingen and founder of the first German institution for the instruction of male obstetricians, made notable anatomical and physiological studies on the fetal circulation, the position of the fetus, and the mechanism of delivery. His principal work in this area was 'Elementa artis obstetriciae' (1753). "During the heavy epidemic of typhoid fever at Göttingen in 1757-63, a careful account of the disease was published, in 1762, by Johann Georg Roederer. and his assistant Wagler (1731-78), who made autopsies of the cases. The intestinal lesions were carefully noted, but the authors regarded the disease as identical with intermittent fever and dysentery. Perhaps for this reason the unique monograph was soon forgotten, although Cotugno is said to have made similar postmorterm observations in Italy." (Garrison, 'Hist. medicine', 1924, p.421). N.L.M. (18th C.), p.385. Wellcome IV.546. Cole Lib. I.1666. Reynolds 3567. Pybus 1725.
