Jacques Labarère tells us that this is a "very rare" first edition, published in Tarbes, of the oldest book (printed in 1714) on the mineral waters of Cauterets. This edition appears to be just as rare, albeit a little later (publication around 1740).
Jean-François de Borie (1684-1747), physician in Pontacq, then in Pau after 1717. Physician at the waters of Cauterets, where he was appointed Intendant just before his death.
