FIRST EDITION IN FRENCH, published in the same year as the Latin edition, De sanitate, faecunditate et morbis mulierum. A doctor and agronomist, Liébault married the daughter of Charles Estienne and translated his father-in-law's Praedium rusticum into French as La maison rustique (1564); a translation of Gesner's Quatres livres des secrets de médecine followed in 1573. He also published a second book relating to women in 1582, a treatise on cosmetics and the preservation of bodily beauty. Wellcome I, 3800; Durling 2959 (attributed to Giovanni Marinelli).
