[Analysis of frontispieces in seventeenth-century books from the Rouen libraries collections].

In the seventeenth century books the frontispieces generally epitomize in a single engraving of the thought of the author. After a short review of the Rouen libraries collections on which this study is based, five frontispieces with different set of themes are analysed: the ordering of a chemist's shop by Jean de Renou, the tribute paid to the Ancients by bauhin, teh Fortune, Time and Wisdom allegories represented in the works of Dalechamp, the allegory of the Royal pharmacopoeia by Moyse Charas and the Song of Solomon by Clusius. In conclusion, we will wonder about the possible understanding of the chemist at the time, facing these coded pictures.

[The library of the Society of the Dutch Journal of Medicine].

This year the library of the Vereniging Nederlands Tijdschrift voor Geneeskunde (Society of the Dutch Journal of Medicine) has reached the age of go. The idea was born in 1900 when the editor-in-chief M.Straub proposed starting a library for the Journal. This was rejected by the members of the Society, but fourteen years later, in 1914, when the new editor-in-chief G.A. van Rijnberk made a similar proposal, it was accepted. His long-term as editor (1913-1946) would prove to be a guarantee for the acquisition of a large collection of books, both antique and contemporary. The collection reflects the history of medicine, notably in The Netherlands, but also in a wider sense. Over the years, several catalogues of the collection have been published, and this year has seen the completion of an electronic catalogue which is available on the Internet (www.ntvg.nl). The acquisition and restoration of books have been re-started in the past five years and a fellowship for the study of the existing collection of books has been instituted.
