Signed by the publisher on the verso of the title of volume one. A French translation of Stoll’s principal work, the Rationis Medendi, first published in Vienna in 1777-90, and enhanced by Vicq-d’Azyr’s elogy and notes by Pinel, Mahon, Baudelocque and others. Stoll was a member of the influential Viennese School which, during his lifetime, became one of the focal points of European medical inquiry. He is generally regarded as a systematist relying heavily on the work of Sydenham. He achieved considerable recognition as a pharmacologist, epidemiologist, and clinician. See Garrison-Morton 1964. See Heirs of Hippocrates 1040 and 1041 for a discussion of other Stoll titles. Not in Waller.
