Section: Studies of Archival and Book Fonds

Abstract: The aim of the article is to study the structure of the 18th century French scientific text “Herbier Medical.1759” and, having considered its main logical and semantic components, ontological and functional features,to describe its structural and compositional model. Research methodology. The study revealed the integrateduse of the following methods: descriptive (when inventorying and systematizing the features of the monument);structural with elements of component and distributive analysis (when studying the internal organization of theanalyzed text); quantitative method (specifying the relationship between chapters with different paragraphs).Scientific novelty. It was determined that the title page “Herbier Medical. 1759” is a headline complex that conveysa textual thematic chain; the page is expositional; the introduction is a detailed description of herbal medicines’types on the next four pages; the concentrated content of the manuscript is presented on two pages in theform of a detailed classification of medicinal plants. Having studied the paragraph division of the chaptersdescribing 21 sections of medicinal plants, the authors have identified permanent and volatile components, which ultimately led to the creation of a six-component composite model. Conclusions. In this article, a previouslyunpublished French scientific text of 1759 is introduced into scientific circulation and described, taking into accountits logical-semantic organization on the basis of cognitive and communicative analysis, and ultimately contributesto the study of the history of 18th century natural science and linguistic knowledge. We consider such studies aspromising and necessary that will represent the linguoculturological analysis of phytonyms in “Herbier Medical.1759”, a systematic description of its calligraphy, etc.
