GEOFFROY, Étienne-Louis (1725-1810).

Hygieine, sive Ars sanitatem conservandi. Poema. Paris : Cavelier, 1771.

Les préceptes de diététique en vers d'un pharmacien poète ; exemplaire de la bibliothèque de Talleyrand. Édition originale.



Pharmacien et entomologiste, Étienne-Louis Geoffroy aborde les propriétés nutritives des aliments et de la boisson. Il prône la modération, tant dans les quantités de nourriture servies que dans la consommation d'alcool, et met en garde contre certains aliments tels que les herbes aromatiques, les poissons des marais et les gâteaux à base de miel. Les autres chapitres traitent notamment de l'air, du mouvement et du sommeil. On a relié à la suite l'édition originale de la traduction en français des poèmes latins. Vicaire, 399 ; Bitting, 179.



In-8 (197 x 122 mm). Illustré d'en-têtes et culs-de-lampe gravés (taches et piqûres éparses). Reliure de l'époque : veau marbré, dos à nerfs orné de filets et petits fers dorés, pièce de titre en maroquin rouge, tranches marbrées.

Provenance : bibliothèque du château de Valençay (ex-libris).
