[Medicine] Collection of all the triduanes, printed in 1748 and 1749, presented by the seven competitors for the Gerard Fitz-Gerald chair, which became vacant following his death on January 10, 1748. This chair was one of four generalist chairs created in 1498: they were called Regencies. These triduanes were printed and entitled: "Quaestiones medicae duodecim [...]. Pro regia cathedra vacante." Monspelii, Joannem Martel, 1748-1749 ; Augustinum Franciscum Rochard, 1749. One volume. 17.5 by 22.5 cm. Multiple pagination. Contemporary full calf, 5-rib spine, ornate caissons, red title page. Epidermure on the boards, a lack at the tail. Brown stain in the outer margin of the first 4 leaves, without affecting the text. Scattered brown spots. Fundamental collection for the attribution of chairs of medicine in Montpellier. This is an exceptional collection, as complete copies of all the triduanes from the same competition are extremely rare. "The most decisive test in the dispute for a chair is that of the triduanes. This name is given to twelve theses that must be defended over three consecutive days, two in the morning and two in the evening. These theses, whose subjects have been assigned by the professors judging the dispute, have only twelve days in which to be composed and printed; as soon as they come off the press, they are distributed, and after an interval of four days, they are defended. The publicity given to them by printing undoubtedly requires that they be worked on with great care; but even if they were a little neglected, the brevity of the time could serve as an excuse." (Desgenettes, Éloges des académiciens de Montpellier, p. 290). The competition was won by Charles Serane, who held the chair until his death (September 13, 1756). (cf. Dulieu, La médecine à Montpellier). The title page of Serane's triduanes is reproduced by Dulieu t. III, 1st part, p. 40, Gourraigne's p. 88. Details of the collection: 1) GOURRAIGNE (Hugues). Monspelii, Joannem Martel, 1748, (4)-26 pp.. Conlon 48: 516. 2) SERANE (Charles). Monspelii, Joannem Martel, 1749, (2)-32 pp. Conlon 49: 848. 3) FITZ-MAURICE (Thomas).
