Biography

[edit]

Charles-Victor Daremberg began his medical studies in his hometown of Dijon and continued them in Paris. Librarian at the Académie nationale de médecine, then at the Bibliothèque Mazarine, he went on to become a lecturer at the Collège de France and holder of the chair in the History of medicine.

In addition, he carried out several missions in various libraries across Europe to catalog, describe, and collate the medical manuscripts preserved there.

He is the author of works on Galen (thesis, 1841) and Hippocrates (1843, translation of selected works).We owe him the only French translations of Galen treatises available today.

He is known to the academic community for his contribution to the Dictionnaire des Antiquités Grecques et Romaines (Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities) between 1850 and 1870. [1]
