BLÉGNY, Nicolas de (circa 1643-1722). La doctrine des raports de chirurgie. Lyon : Thomas Amaulry, 1684.

Exemplaire en maroquin rouge aux armes de Louis XIV. Médecin, Nicolas de Blégny lança plusieurs périodiques, dont Les nouvelles découvertes sur toutes les parties de la médecine à Paris en 1676 et le Zodiacus medico-gallicus à Genève en 1681. Dans cet ouvrage, il rappelle aux chirurgiens l'obligation de signaler toute suspicion de crime et leur explique comment préparer une présentation d'expert devant le juge. L'exemplaire est enrichi d'une note manuscrite en fin d'ouvrage, décrivant notamment l'aspect d'un corps suite à un décès par noyade. Relié à l'époque en maroquin rouge frappé des armes royales de France, il présente aussi, en lettres d'or, l'ex-dono de l'avocat rouennais Auguste Le Chevalier. A catalogue of printed books in the Wellcome historical medical library, p. 180 ; Garrison & Morton, 1725 ; Krivasty, 1374 ; Catalogues régionaux des incunables des bibliothèques publiques de France, vol. XVII, p. 401.

In-12 (149 x 88 mm). Édition originale. Bandeaux, lettrines et culs-de-lampe gravés. Annotations et passages soulignés à l'encre brune, note manuscrite en fin d'ouvrage, 1 p. sur 1 feuillet. Reliure de l'époque : maroquin rouge aux armes de France (O.H.R., pl. 2494, fer 10), triple filet doré en encadrement, fleurs de lys aux angles, dos à nerfs, caissons ornés de fleurs de lys, dentelle intérieure dorée, tranches dorées. Provenance : reliure aux armes de Louis XIV (1638-1715) -- sur le plat supérieur, frappé en lettres d'or, "EX DONO D. D. A. LE CHEVALIER". Il s'agit vraisemblablement d'Auguste Le Chevalier, avocat Rouennais né en 1709 -- ex-libris non identifié portant les initiales "JM".
