Lieutaud, Joseph (1703-1780)

Tentamina physico-anatomica in naturam humanam By comparison with a copy of the author's 'Elementa physiologiae', Amsterdam, 1749, this fragment-possibly holograph-was written for an apparently unpublished third edition of that work, first issued in Paris in 1745. It must have been written after 1750, when the author left Aix for Paris 'laribus relictis' (First leaf). Produced in Paris.

c. 1755

6ll 6 ll. folio. 32 x 21 cm.. Introduction and index only.

Purchased 1930.

The author was a celebrated anatomist of Aix, where he was professor of anatomy, physiology, and botany.
