Description
Serrier, (Trophime) - Trophimi Serrier. Consiliarii et medici regii Arelatensis. Observationes medicæ. Lugduni, apud Antonium Jullieron 1673. In-8° full contemporary calf, 3 ff. 548 pp. First edition of this work by Serrier, which describes numerous clinical cases and medical observations from his own practice. The book is notable for its empirical approach, in which Serrier documents the symptoms, diagnoses and treatments he experienced. He analyses a range of ailments, from fevers to respiratory and digestive diseases, using precise observations to draw practical conclusions. The work reflects the evolution of medicine towards a more scientific method, based on direct observation of patients and experience, rather than on the abstract theories of the ancients. Serrier also highlights the importance of an individualised approach to care, while maintaining a dialogue with the medical traditions of his time. Usures d'usage.
