- Lot Description
ALIBERT, JEAN LOUIS MARIE. Clinique de l'Hôpital Saint-Louis, ou traité complet des maladies de la peau. Paris: Cormon et Blanc, 1833. Fourth edition, greatly expanded. Modern brown calf with inlaid marbled paper covers, 14 x 20 inches (35 x 51 cm). [4], xxiv, 390 pp., 63 colored plates. Some shelfwear; toning and a few scratches to the older inlaid marble paper covers. Foxed as usual, a bit thumbsoiled, edges rubbed. Overall a bright, clean, and complete copy. A pioneering work in skin disease, spectacularly illustrated. After the Revolution interrupted Jean-Louis Marie Alibert's training for the priesthood, he instead went to medical school. He was appointed to the Hôpital Saint-Louis, where he developed a reputation as France's foremost expert in dermatology. Notably, Alibert developed a system of classification for skin disease based on Linnaeus, the "tree of dermatoses," which serves as the frontispiece for this volume. Alibert had his book illustrated with hand-colored stipple engravings, focusing on skin disease in its most advanced states and most startling forms. Even in their unsettling detail, the engravings, executed by Salvatore Tresca, convey a sort of calm beauty and a concern for the depicted patients' dignity. This later edition adds about ten plates to the first, and updates the text and captions according to Alibert's continuing research. Heirs of Hippocrates 1219, Cushing A133, Garrison-Morton 3986.
