Abstract:
Very few science books circulated amongst the European scientists, with so efficiency as Lemery's. His Course of Chemistry has been published 18 times in French and has been translated in Latin, English, German, Spanish, Italian and Deutch. His Treaty or Dictionnary of Drugs has been published 14 times in French and translated in foreign languages. His Universal Pharmacopeia has not been published less than 17 times in French and has also been translated in foreign languages. The longevity of these books was quite unusual, because, for exemple, his Dictionnary, first published in 1698, was published again in 1807!
