cour de physique medical,LIVRE manuscrit Philippe Pinel (1745-1826)
Philippe Pinel (1745-1826), le plus illustre des aliénistes français, fut interdit d'exercice sous L'Ancien Régime à Paris parce que docteur d'une faculté de province. Par deux fois candidat malheureux à un concours qui lui aurait offert les moyens de reprendre ses études, il se voit également refuser en 1784 un office à la Cour. Les circonstances de ces échecs sont ici réévoquées à la lumière de divers documents, pour certains inédits. Philippe Pinel in 1784. A "foreign" physician in front of the Paris Faculty of Medicine Philippe Pinel (1745-1826), the most famous French alienist was forbidden to practice medicine in Paris during the "Ancien Regime" as he had obtained his doctorate from a provincial faculty. Having been twice an unfortunate candidate to a competition which would have allowed him to resume his studies, he was also rejected in 1784 for functions at Court. The circumstances of these failures are reinvestigated here in the light of various documents some of which unpublished.
