---- EDITION ORIGINALE de la THESE de doctorat présentée par Isidore Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire à la Faculté de médecine de Paris le 14 Août 1829 ---- TRES RARE ---- "The only son of Etienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, Isidore wanted to become a mathematician ; but his father saw in him the continuator of his work and engaged him in his laboratory as an aide-naturaliste in 1824... In 1833 he entered the Academy of Sciences. Isidore Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire continued his father's work, which he strengthened and made more exact... His important views on the persistence of infantile characteristics among the primates and on "parallel" evolution appear to be original... Although the idea of seeking laws governing the formation of monsters was his father's, Isidore nonetheless grouped and brought into accord, judiciously and critically, a great number of scattered facts. In 1832 he coined the word teratology to designate the science of monsters. His work on the description and classification of the mammals, especially of the apes, was original and successful...".

Garrison N° 534.58 ---- Propositions générales sur l'organisation - Sur les monstruosités (définitions et divisions, circonstances précédant ou accompagnant la naissance des monstres, circonstances relatives au monstre lui-même, viabilité des monstres, remarques générales sur les caractères et l'organisation des monstres, organisation et caractères des monstres simples, causes de la monstruosité)**5359/E7.Doss

---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- "SERRES'chief writings are Anatomie comparée du cerveau dans les quatre classes des animaux vertébrés (1824/1826) and Anatomie comparée transcendante - Principes d'embryogénie, de zoogénie et de tératogénie (1860). Serres was trained in Paris and received his medical degree in 1810. From 1808 to 1822 he worked at the Hôtel-Dieu. In 1820 he was awarded the prize for physiological research by the Académie des Sciences and the following year gained a special prize for his two-volume work on the comparative anatomy of the brains of vertebrate animals. In 1822, he was appointed chief medical officer at the Hôpital de la Pitié. He was elected to the Académie de médecine in 1822 and to the Académie des Sciences in 1828. In 1839, he preceded Flourens as professor of comparative anatomy at the Jardin des Plantes and two years later became president of the Académie des sciences... Serres studied the comparative anatomy of a number of vertebrate organs. He noted that many organs start from a number of isolated centers, which eventually unite to form a single adult organ. In his general approach to the nature of life and the harmony between the organes he was clearly influenced by Cuvier, who mentioned Serres's work with admiration. Serres's theoretical position was more closely akin to that of Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire. Serres believed that there was only one underlying animal type and that in the course of their development, the organs of the higher animals repeated the form of the quivalent organs in lower organisms...".
