Woodcut vignette on title depicting Hippocrates & Galen. 4 p.l., 179 pp. Small 4to, antique reversed calf (a few headlines shaved). Lyon: M. Bonhomme, 1552. First edition of this very popular and rare book on medicaments; it was reprinted for more than one hundred years. Dupuis (or Puteanus) was professor of medicine at the University of Grenoble where he had the reputation as an excellent physician. Dupuis "was another who came to the defense of Mesue against Manard and Fuchs as to the use of aloes and rhubarb. He further asserted that a good part of recent physicians had overwhelmed medicine with innumerable errors, basing their judgment not on reason but witnesses, as if there were no art, no method handed down teaching physicians to know the qualities and properties of medicinal simples."­Thorndike, V, pp. 449-50. There are a number of references to rhubarb in the text. Fine copy with some contemporary marginal annotations (some cropped). Partington, II, p. 97. Wellcome, I, 5300.
