This 1879 scholarly edition, Le Meilleur Traitement du Mal VĂ nĂ rien (1579) by Jean Fernel dâ Amiens, offers a critical French translation, preface, and extensive notes by Dr. L. Le Pileurâ "a respected physician associated with the Faculty of Medicine and the Saint-Lazare hospital. Part of the Collection Choisie des Anciens Syphilographes, this volume revisits Fernelâ s historically significant 16th-century treatise on the diagnosis and treatment of venereal disease. Included is a finely printed portrait plate of Fernel (engraved by A. Salmon), a faithful reproduction of early medical iconography. The text presents both the original Latin pages and facing French translation, making it valuable for historians of medicine, philologists, and collectors of early venereology and Renaissance medical literature. The book examines 16th-century therapeutic methods, particularly the use of mercury, cauterization, and humoral balancing, while Le Pileurâ s notes contextualize the work for 19th-century readers. Together, the historical text and scholarly commentary form an important bridge between Renaissance medical practice and modern syphilology. Condition & Binding:ÂThe book is unbound, retaining its original plain gray paper covers, but large portions of the text block are detached or separating, and many pages are loose. Edges are untrimmed, with some creasing, corner wear, and mild toning consistent with age. The engraved portrait frontispiece is present and well-printed on laid paper. Overall- poor to fair.
