Pierre Cressé (1632 - 1714) [1] was a 17th-century French physician during the reign of Louis XIV.
Biography
He was related to Molière's mother, Marie Cressé (1601-1632). [1] [2]
In 1657 he defended a thesis on the mineral waters of Passy and of Forges-les-Eaux [3] and another thesis on the effect of tea on gout. [4]
An ardent galenist and defender of finalism in medicine, he practised as a docteur regent [note 1] at the Faculty of Medicine in Paris.
On 31 July 1671, the King Louis XIV appointed François Cureau de La Chambre as a demonstrator operator of the interior of plants [note 2] of the Botanical Garden ( Jardin des Plantes). Too busy with his duties, François Cureau de La Chambre appointed Pierre Cressé, to read the lectures, while the surgeon Pierre Dionis performed the actual dissections. [5] [6]
He engaged in a lively dispute with Guillaume Lamy over anatomical treatises, notably concerning the seat of the human soul. [7]
