Specialist Notes
Very rare edition, published by Crepy in Paris.
Important anatomical atlas presenting the work of the famous French doctor André du Laurens (1558 Tarascon 1609) who was the first doctor of King Henry IV of France. Son of another famous doctor, he studied medicine in Avignon under Louis Duret. He initially practiced the art of medicine in Carcassonne and then succeeded the great physician Laurent Joubert in the chair of medicine in Montpellier. On the death of Jean Hucher in 1603, due to his great prestige, Laurens was appointed rector of the University of Montpellier. From 1606 he became chief physician to the king. Laurens' anatomical atlas was one of the most famous of its time and was reprinted until the end of the 18th century. The plates of the work are usually by Vesalius, Coiter, Valverde and others, but it is in the description of the skeletal system of the child in different periods and in the plate of "La Medule Spinale" that Laurens made an important contribution to anatomy. Laurens' anatomical atlases, due to their great use, are very rare today.
