[PALISSY (Bernard)]. Le Moyen de devenir riche, et la manière véritable par laquelle tous les hommes de la France pourront apprendre à multiplier & augmenter leurs thrésors & possessions. [Paris], [Robert Fouet], [1636]. 2 parts in one in-8 volume in later hardback amateur binding. 205-[1bl.] pp. (the last erroneously numbered 255, pagination jump 128 to 179 without missing); 1 f.bl. [16]-526 pp. (without the last blank leaf Kk8). The 8 introductory pages are missing, including the title page of the first part. Some foxing. Marginal tear missing for 3 cm at bottom of page 513 (minor damage to text). Fine wormholes in the margins of several pages (some minor damage to text). The second part bears a separate title: "Seconde partie du Moyen de devenir riche contenant les Discours admirables de la Nature des eaux & fontaines, tant naturelles qu'artificielle, des fleuves, puits, cisternes, étangs, marez & autres eaux douces de leur origine, bonté, & autres qualités. De l'Alchimie des métaux, de l'or potable, du Mitridat, des glaces, des sels végétatifs ou génératifs, du sel commun. Description of the marez salans. Common and precious stones. Des causes de leur génération, formes, couleur, pesanteur & qualités d'icelles, des terres d'argille, de l'art, de la terre, de son utilité & du feu, de la marne & le moyen de la cognoistre." First posthumous collective edition of the works of the famous Renaissance ceramist and scholar, divided into two parts: Manière veritable (published in 1563 under the title "Recepte véritable") and Discours admirables (1580) brought together in 1636 under the attractive title Le Moyen de devenir riche by Parisian bookseller Robert Foüet, while Bernard Palissy had fallen into oblivion. In his Discours admirables, he explains "the origin of mineral waters by the dissolution of mineral salts found in the bosom of the earth, rises up against the doctrines of the Alchemists, whom he mocks with great wit, reveals several projection processes that served only to make dupes, seeks to prove that drinking gold is a medicine that is more dangerous than useful, and that Paracelsus was selling something else under this name [...presented in the form of dialogues, the 'Traité des Pierres' is one of the most interesting treatises on natural history. Palissy was the first to establish an exact theory of crystallization, then called freezing" (Dorbon). Rare and sought-after edition (Brunet, IV, 319; Dorbon, no. 3450; unknown to Caillet (1777 edition)).
