In the late 1630s, Riviere, professor at the University of Montpellier, delivered a series of lectures on practical medicine. Later, in response of requests from physicians writing from all over Europe, Riviere expanded these to include the theory of diseases and the resulting Praxis Medica cum Theoria was printed in 1645.

The work was hugely popular and translated into French and English. Peter Cole, the English printer of the work, claims that by 1663 over 1700 copies of the folio-sized tome had been sold. Moreover, the book did not only leap off the shelves of booksellers but was actually read. 

Later editions were often sold and bound with the English translation of Rivière’s Observationes medicae (1646) so mixing the older practica with the new medical genre of observationes. [Leong, 2013]

He gave the earliest account of an aortic valve lesion consistent with endocarditis in 1646. This description appeared in his monumental work \"Opera medica universa\" which was first published in 1674.  

The postmortem examination showed: \"...the ventricle of the heart was found to be filled with a bloody mass and the whole lung was filled with much blood from which the suffocation of the natural spread to each part...Moreover in the left ventricle of the heart round carbuncles were found like the substance of the lungs, the larger of which resembled a cluster of hazelnuts & filled up the opening of the aorta, which I judged caused the failure of pulsations in the arteries. Now these carbuncles I thought were caused by the excessive blood which the marked heat of the ventricle hardened & in this manner changed its substance.\"

This description suggests that Riviere had some knowledge about the normal structure of the valves and that he was able to recognize these particular aortic lesions. It also indicates the influence of Galenic concepts in pathogenesis (heat generated in the left ventricle that would harden the valve structure) which were still predominant in the 17th century.
