| Résumé : | This article analyses the medico-meteorological tables compiled between 1757 and 1762 by the physician Jean Razoux at the Hôtel-Dieu of Nîmes. Rooted in the Hippocratic tradition linking environment and disease, Razoux attempted to correlate systematic meteorological observations with hospital records organized according to the nosological system of François Boissier de Sauvages. Published in 1767, his Tables nosologiques et météorologiques combined measurements of temperature, atmospheric pressure, wind direction and weather conditions with detailed records of diseases, cures and deaths. By examining these tables and their intellectual context, the article highlights eighteenth-century efforts to establish empirical links between climate and health and situates Razoux’s work within the development of medical topography and early environmental medicine. |
