DEVAUX (Jean). The Physician of oneself or the Art of keeping oneself healthy by instinct. Leiden, by Graef for the author and sold in Brussels at Jean Léonard's, 1682. Small in-12 of [12]-294 pages, green calf, gold lace on the covers, decorated spine, gilt edges (19th century binding). First edition illustrated with a frontispiece engraved on copper showing a little love retouching the portrait of Galien. This work, which had become rare, made the doctors so angry with the author that he gave up publishing the second book he had promised. He was a proponent of bloodletting, believed in the influence of the stars and in medicinal astrology. Turtle mark with the motto Paulatim, printed on the title. (Barber III, 99) (Dorbon 1221). Well restored hinges.
