Charles-François Boutigny Despreaux - An Vinum Remense, ut suave, sic salubre ? - 1741
Quarto, softcover, Paris, 1741 (error: "1471") , 4 pp. As is often the case in cardinal theses where the subject was proposed by the faculty and not by the recipient, the answer to the question about the wholesomeness and taste of champagne was positive. The very limited number of copies of these theses is one explanation for their rarity, rarity itself being also a possible reason for the fact that Boutigny Despreaux's work has escaped the notice of specialised biographies.
