HARVEY, William (1578-1657). Exercitationes anatomicae, De motu Cordis & Sanguinis Circulatione. Accessit Dissertatio de Corde Doct. Jacobi de Back. Rotterdam: A. Leers, 1660.
The Latin edition of this milestone in medicine was published simultaneously in Rotterdam and London. 'The most important book in the history of medicine. Harvey proved experimentally that in animals the blood is impelled in a circle by the beat of the heart, passing from arteries to veins through the pores (i.e., the capillaries seen by Malpighi with the microscope in 1660)' (Garrison-Morton). ‘The discovery and experimental proof of the circulation of blood. Since antiquity, ideas about the physiology and pathology of most parts of the body had been based to an important degree on assumptions made about the function of the heart and blood vessels. In fundamentally changing the conception of these functions, Harvey pointed the way to reform of all of physiology and medicine’ (Norman). Keynes 9. See Garrison & Morton 759; Norman 1006.
2 parts in one volume, 12mo (127 x 73mm). With additional engraved title (dated 1661) (very light uniform browning). Contemporary vellum (soiled, spine chipped). Provenance: contemporary inscription with content and partly erased inscription on front flyleaf – small 18th and 19th century inscriptions at front – Prof. C. Heymans (bookplate).
