GB 0120 MSS.434, 435 c 1640-1720 Collection (fonds) 2 volumes Various

The two compilers of these MSS. are the same as those of MS. No. 210 (Consultationes], the later hand may be that of Pierre Rivallier [1644- ],a physician at Nîmes.

From the Verdeil Collection, purchased Geneva 1928.

Loci communes medici. In Latin and French, by two different compilers. The earlier part in both volumes is entirely in Latin, and may have been begun about the middle of the 17th cent., though the date 1667 is found on fol. 371v of the Vol. 1. This section contains extracts from late 16th cent. and 17th cent. medical works. An entry on Vol. 11, fol. 49v bears the date 1666. The entries by the later compiler are in French and Latin, with French predominating, and contain extracts from medical writers, notes of cases, etc., dated from the later part of the 17th cent. to 1721 (Vol. I, fol. 327). In Vol. II there are a few entries in French, and some on astronomical topics by a third writer; among these the date 1759-in the extract on 'Aphélie'-occurs.

In 2 volumes.
