Levret is considered by many to be the most influential figure in 18th century French obstetrics. He was honored for his rational approach to obstetrical operations, of which he described in the book L'art des Accouchements. He published several other works in obstetrics and attracted students from all over Europe. He is remembered for his work involving breech maneuvers and Caesarean sections. He also improved the birth forceps by modifying the "pelvic curve" of the instruments' blades.

Quarta edizione, riveduta e corretta, di uno dei più importanti testi di ostetricia del secolo decimottavo, descrivgente un nuovo tipo di forcipe ideato dallo stesso Levret; chief contribution to obstetrics, of which there were many, was the introduction of the pelvic or maternal curve of the forceps blades (Thoms, p. 120). Il Levret (Parigi, 1703-ivi, 1780), membro dell'Académie Royale de Chirurgie, fu uno dei più illustri ostetrici di tutti i tempi per i suoi studi sulla gravidanza extrauterina. Introdusse in ostetricia una serie di strumenti, alcuni dei quali, se pure in forma modificata, sono ancora in uso e perfezionò il forcipe introdotto dal barbiere Palfijn. (Castiglioni). Blake, 270.

In 8° (20×12 cm); XVI, 168, (4) pp. e una c. di tav. fuori testo. Nel testo sono intercalate due pagine in più per errore del rilegatore che ha inserito pagina XVI e 97 due volte. Bella legatura coeva in piena pelle marmorizzata con titoli e ricchi fregi in oro al dorso. Qualche strofinatura e leggero difetto alle cerniere. Dorso a 5 nervi. Tagli spruzzati di rosso. Leggerissima ed insignificante brunitura al margine esterno delle prime quattro pagine dovute alla qualità della carta utilizzata, non fastidiose. Antica firma di appartenenza privata che identifica la copia come proveniente dalla celebre collezione del Marchese de Sterlich originario di Chieti che fu uno dei più grandi e conosciuti collezionisti italiani del settecento (possedeva più di 12000 volumi). De Sterlich raccoglieva volumi per elaborarli e per creare le sue riflessioni e i suoi pensieri ed era aggiornatissimo sui dibattiti culturali europei del Settecento. Fu tra i primi italiani a leggere e commentare le opere di Montesquieu, Rousseau, Voltaire, e di altri illuministi europei. Qualche minima e leggerissima macchiolina di foxing, la tavola fuori testo leggermente ed uniformemente brunita e nel complesso esemplare all'interno in buone-ottime condizioni di conservazione. Molto bella la tavola fuor testa su disegno di Levret realizzata da Bouchet che illustra alcuni innovativi strumenti ostetrici del tempo. Prima rarissima edizione, nessun esemplare censito in ICCU, di questa importante opera di ostetricia del grande ostetrico e ginecologo parigino, André Levret (8 January 1703 in Paris - 22 January 1780). L'autore fu ostetrico ufficiale della madre di Luigi XIV. Al Levret si deve la modifica del forcipe al quale aggiunse una seconda curvatura che lo rese più sicuro e maneggevole, nonché l'invenzione delle forbici a lame concave adatte all'escissione di piccole appendici. L'opera qui presentata è una dei testi base della storia dell'Ostetricia. "In January of 1747 André Levret presented to the Royal Academy of Surgery of Paris, a new curved forceps contrived for disengaging the fetal head 'empacted in the pelvis.' In his treatise Observations sur les causes. Levret clearly proved the utility of the pelvic curve and showed how impossible it is to affix straight forceps and to make traction that will be of advantage unless the head is low" (Cutter & Viets, Short History of Midwifery, p. 63; see also pp. 89-90).
