First edition. A treatise argued by Canron in November 1763. Contains. 1. Argumentabuntur. (ie. "Those who will argue", the list of professors that Canron would present his thesis to); 2. Author's dedicatory epistle to Antoine Boyer; 3. Materies Medica in Regno Animali; 4. Materies Medica in Regno Lapideo; 5. Index Virium; 6. Index Morborum; 7. Errata. The treatise records medicinal substances derived from animalssuch as Vermes and other small creaturesand from minerals (lapideo), in the manner of eighteenth-century natural history studies that combined aspects of pharmacology, lithology, and zoology. Works of this kind drew upon earlier reference sources, notably Gronovius's Bibliotheca regni animalis atque lapidei, with a particular emphasis on practical therapeutics. Part of the vogue for classification of this time (which is the same period that Linnaeus was working). Sewn binding. There is a rear paper cover, but no spine or front cover, so substantially disbound. Nevertheless, the pages are clean and bright. Attractive vignette to the title page. A couple of other vignettes to end sections. The BnF and Worldcat both record and identical collation, so no initial pages are lacking. [4], 5-20, 19, ix pages with errata to page ix. 21cm x 13cm. Confroms to Worlcat / OCLC: 1144287793. Few library holdings, all seem to be in France. Printed by John Martel's widow. Printers to the King and court of Occitania. Martel operated from Montpellier (Monspelii), specializing in medical and academic texts due to the city's renowned medical faculty. His press produced works like theses, dissertations, and treatises, including Positiones medico-chirurgicae (1765, printed by his widow). After his death around 1760, his widow continued the business into the late 1760s, maintaining the prestigious titles. We can find no biographical details for Pierre Canron. From the style of this work, it appears to be a University thesis that he was defending. .
