First published in 1806 under title: Nouveau dictionnaire de médecine, de chirurgie, de physique, de chimie et d'histoire naturelle, par Joseph Capuron. The 1810 edition was ascribed to Capuron and Nysten. In 1814 Nysten competely rewrote the work and this edition and subsequent editions, including the 12th, 1865, bore his name alone.

The 10th edition was virtually a new work by Littré, but retained Nysten's name and the title-page, as do the 11th-14th editions. After Littré's death it appeared under his name alone. - cf. Preface of 10th ed. and 12th ed., Quérard, La France littéraire, and Osler, W. Bibl. Osler.
