Description:
-
In this book, the 16th-century Italian surgeon Hieronymus Fabricius ab Aquapendente illustrates and details veins and valves. While Fabricius did not discover vein valves, his writing in De Venarum Ostiolis contains their earliest known detailed description. This book was highly influential to the work of William Harvey, an English physician who was the first to recognize the full circulation of the blood in the human body. This edition contains a biographical introduction, facsimile with reproductions of its original plates, and notes on the size of these plates.
