On the Circulation of the Book: The Early Reception of Harvey's De Motu Cordis

Time: 6:00pm - 7:30pm

Location: The New York Academy of Medicine, 1216 Fifth Avenue at 103rd Street, New York

Comparable in importance to Copernicus's De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium (1543), William Harvey's Exercitatio Anatomica de Motu Cordis et Sanguinis in Animalibus (1628) revolutionized human anatomy. This talk by Dr. Nick Wilding will explore the movement and reception of Harvey's theory across Europe, paying special attention to the evidence from the marginalia by Marc'Aurelio Severino in Dr. John Loeb's presentation copy.
