Bemerkung:

Erste Ausgabe. - Waller 7217. Heirs of Hippocrates 758: "A native of Perugia in central Italy, Pascoli initially practiced medicine in his natal city and then lectured in philosophy and anatomy at the university. He had such success that he came to the attention of Pope Clement XI, who appointed him professor of anatomy in Rome. The present work is his textbook on anatomy which became very popular, was translated into Latin, and remained in print until 1750. Included at the end of this first edition are several letters on anatomical and physiological matters that he received from Baglivi". - "L?opera che gli portò una maggiore notorietà, verosimilmente preparata nella speranza di accedere al locale collegio medico e passare su una cattedra medica, fu, nel 1700, Il corpo umano, dedicata a Clemente XI, un?esposizione anatomica e fisiologica a fini didattici e improntata ai principi della moderna filosofia naturale corpuscolarista e della fisiologia meccanicista. In appendice, inoltre, vi era inclusa la lettera De fibra motrice et morbosa del già rinomato Baglivi, allora lettore di anatomia alla Sapienza di Roma, nel quale si anticipavano i punti salienti che avrebbe sviluppato in un più ampio trattato omonimo del 1702" (Trecciani). Wie meist ist am Ende beigebunden: Giorgio Baglivi: De fibra motrice et morbosa. Epistola ad A. Pascoli. Perugia, Constantinus, 1700. 58 S. - Heirs of Hippocrates 737: "In the letter Baglivi describes what we now call striated and smooth muscles and gives an account of their gross and microscopic structure. He believed that striated muscles were used for making short, rapid movements while smooth muscles were used for longer, sustained motions. Baglivi also observed that isolated portions of heart muscle contract and relax without external stimulation and that portions of skeletal muscle contract when stimulated by an external source". - Im Werk von Pascoli fehlen die Seiten 3 bis 6. - Buchblock leicht angebrochen. Vereinzelte teils hinterlegte Randläsuren (ohne Text- oder Bildverlust). Einige wenige Bll. im Rand mit kl. Notizen und Zeichnungen in Bleistift. Vorsatz mit hs. Notizen. Etw.gebräunt und fleckig.
