Catalogue Note
Third edition and only the second complete edition of one of the most important books in the history of medicine, presenting Harvey's discovery and experimental proof of the circulation of the blood. This edition includes the responses of two of Harvey's many opponents: Emilio Parisano, whose refutations are printed alongside Harvey's text, and James Primerose, whose Animadversiones, first published in 1630, is here included as a separate tract.
