First edition in second and msot complete issue with the title dated 1670 and Charas’s reply inserted after page 201.<\/span><\/p>\nMoyse Charas (1619-1698), a chemist from Uz\u00e8s who settled in Paris around 1646, was one of the first scientists to contribute – along with Claude Perrault, G.J. Duverney, J. Pequet, and P. de La Hire – articles on comparative anatomy to the recently created French Acad\u00e9mie des Sciences.<\/p>\n
In this work, the author presents a study of viper anatomy and the source and effects of the venom. He presented the experiments carried out publicly in the King’s garden and defended the thesis that the viper is an antidote to its bite, a thesis opposed to that of another specialist on the subject, the Italian biologist Francesco Redi (1626-1697), with whom he maintained a lengthy controversy. Thanks to his research, Charas contributed to a better understanding of the therapeutic properties of venoms.<\/p>\n
The engraved frontispiece shows apparatus for distilling venom, and the 3 fold-out plates show details of viper anatomy.<\/p>\n
Pages 203-278 contain the Suite des nouvelles exp\u00e9riences sur la vip\u00e8re, avec une dissertation sur son venin, pour servir de r\u00e9plique \u00e0 une lettre que monsieur Fran\u00e7ois R\u00e9di… a \u00e9crite \u00e0 messieurs Bourdelot & Morus, imprim\u00e9e \u00e0 Florence en l’ann\u00e9e 1670. <\/i>Page 278 indicates that this addition was printed on 4 August 1671. Pages 201-218 at the end contain a long alexandrine on the virtues of the viper written in Latin by Moyse Charas.<\/p>\n
A few stains or small traces of waterstain at the beginning and towards the end.<\/p>\n
A rare copy in contemporary morocco.<\/p>\n
