[Medical books in the possession of Canadian health professionals in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries].

This study, based on the data found in notarized inventories of the deceased, ex-libris or bookplates, and listings of books in institutional libraries, shows clearly that circulation of medical books, generally imported from Europe, was next to non-existent in the general public but growing steadily in the Canadian medical corps during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. This growth is proof of the increasing professionalization of the medical corps and institutionalization of medical know-how and expertise during that period.
