The sale catalogue, priced throughout in a contemporary hand, of the large and magnificent library of Édouard François Marie Bosquillon (1744-1814), physician, professor of Greek philosophy at the Collége de France, and Hellenist, who translated a number of ancient Greek texts (especially those of Hippocrates and Dioscorides) as well making translations from English of the medical texts of Cullen and Benjamin Bell (and adding his own important commentaries). “Bosquillon a rendu, comme traducteur, de véritables services aux sciences. Il était grand bibliophile, et possédait la bibliothèque la plus riche qu’un médecin ait jamais rassemblée, si l’on en excepte Falconet; il y avait réuni plus de 30,000 volumes, contenant tout ce qui a été écrit de plus remarquable sur l’art de guérir, dans les langues grecque, latine, arabe, française, italienne et anglaise; il y avait joint plusieurs manuscrits du quatorzième siècle, et les classiques grecs et latins sortis des presses les plus célèbres de l’Europe. Le catalogue de cette bibliothèque a formé un vol. in-8o de 400 pages.”–N.B.G., 6, col. 781. The preliminary pages contain an excellent biography of Bosquillon. 5477 lots with a very useful author index at end. We should like to point out that there is a note at the end of the catalogue stating that there will be, before the sale, a large quantity of books sold in big lots. Fine copy. Scarce. ❧ Grolier Club, Printed Catalogues of French Book Auctions...1643-1830, 562. Hirsch, I, p. 642.
