About This Item
Paris,: C.L.F. Panckoucke,, 1820-1825.. 7 volumes, 4024 pages (all half-titles and titles present). 8vo (13,5 x 20,5 cm.). Neatly uniformly bound in recent half ,brown grained, morocco, spine gilt lettered and numbered on black morroco labels, marbled boards, uncut. ¶ A classic of French medical biography. "The most exhaustive and accurate bibliographies of the great physicians of the past are to be found in the 'Biographie Médicale' of Jourdan"(Garrison). The bio-bibliographical sketches in this work are generally longer than those in Hirsch. An intriguing question: why did the learned Jourdan spelled "Dictionaire" with a single 'n' and not with a double 'n' as the common French orthography (on all 7 title-pages)? --(Some scattered foxing and/or light browing).
