Excerpt from Harvey's Views on the Use of the Circulation of the Blood
It was in 1628, the year of his fiftieth birthday, that Harvey published, at frankfort-ou-the-main, his fa mous Latin treatise entitled: An Anatomical Exer cise on the Motion of the Heart and Blood in Animals. A reader of to-day will be inclined to skim rapidly over the Introduction to this treatise and over much in the last three chapters; and probably he will take only a languid interest in the two brief Latin treatises which Harvey published in defense of the circulation, after more than twenty years of silence, In his seventy-first year, at Cambridge In 1649; these treatises being en titled: Two Anatomical Exercises on the Circulation of the Blood, to Johannes Riolanus, Junior, of Paris.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the influential role of Aristotle in shaping the physiological theories of William Harvey, and his groundbreaking discovery of the circulatory system. The author traces the evolution of Harvey's ideas from his early studies of Aristotle's works to their impact on his own understanding of the body's functions. The book reveals how Harvey incorporated Aristotelian principles into his theory of the circulation, particularly regarding the centrality of the heart as the source of warmth and vitality. It delves into the ancient theories of respiration and the circulation, shedding light on how Harvey's innovations challenged established beliefs. Furthermore, the book examines Harvey's views on the role of the heart and blood in maintaining the body's equilibrium and preventing disease. These insights are placed within the context of ancient Greek and Renaissance medical thought, providing a comprehensive understanding of the intellectual milieu that shaped Harvey's revolutionary work. By mapping the intersections between Aristotle's teachings and Harvey's groundbreaking discoveries, this book illuminates the deep historical roots of modern physiology and highlights the enduring legacy of ancient Greek thought in shaping our scientific understanding of the human body.
