Antonello Privitera (Bibliopathos) description: 4to, imposing contemporary red morocco by P. Devillers (signed in gilt at foot of spine) for King Louis Philippe I, his coat of arms with the lilies of France gilt on both covers, panels and borders tooled in gilt and blind, five raised bands spine with gilt-lettered title and elaborate gilt and blind toolings, gilt edges. First edition of this famous work on military veterinary ... François Jauze was a veterinarian who trained at the École nationale vétérinaire d’Alfort. He was an erstwhile professor of Surgery and Farriery at the School of Rural Veterinary Economics of Milan. Jauze wrote several practical veterinary works for the Royal and Central Agricultural Society. He became the director of the farriery workshop at the College in Alfort but failed to become a full professor, whereupon he left Alfort to create his own farrier veterinary school. Jauze’s school issued diplomas to students after two years of study. The validity of his diploma was disputed and Jauze was stripped of the right to award it. His teachings were not without controversy, and his textbooks were attacked in veterinary journals by such authors as Vatel and Jean Girard. Binding: The binding was certainly executed by Devillers between 1830 and 1848, years of the regency of Louis Philippe. C.
