[PINEL, Philippe (1745-1826)]. "Pathologie interne, extrait des lecons du citoyen Pinel...a l'ecole de medicine de Paris," Manuscript on paper in an unidentified hand, apparently that of an unnamed student of Pinel. Paris, [1800-1801].
2 vols., 4o (220 x 170mm). 733 leaves (vol.1: 418 leaves; vol.2: 315 leaves). Occasional corrections and deletions in the text, extensive shoulder notes in left-hand margins indicating subject matter. Contemporary quarter calf and pastepaper boards, spine gilt and with gilt-lettered labels: "Pathologie Interne," the pages uncut (rubbed, spine ends chipped, spine of vol.1 nearly detached). Provenance: "Dr. Legrain 9 Rue Palouze Paris" (ink inscription on flyleaves).
NOTES TAKEN AT PINEL'S LECTURES. A highly interesting record, meticulously taken down in longhand, of Pinel's two-year course on internal pathology at the cole de Mdicine in Paris, where Pinel taught from 1795. The notes incorporate many clinical examples drawn from medical literature, and some from Pinel's own experience, labelled by the writer "histoire de Pinel." The organization of the lectures parallels Pinel's Nosographie philosophique (Paris 1798), an enormously popular textbook which classified all human diseases into five classes: fevers, phlegmasias, hemorrhages, neuroses and diseases from organic lesions; these categories were further subdivided into 21 orders and 81 species, in the manner of Linnaeus. Although Pinel's system was not generally adopted, it influenced Bichat's creation of histological pathology. Norman 1700.
