EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the title page from "De Motu Cordis set Sanguinis in Animalibus" by William Harvey, a groundbreaking work published in 1628. The image captures an English School's rendition of the original Latin edition, printed in Leiden by Ioannis Maire in 1639. The title page is adorned with intricate emblems and vignettes that symbolize the profound significance of Harvey's research on the motion of the heart and blood in living beings. It offers a glimpse into the rich history of medicine and science during the Renaissance period. William Harvey, a renowned physician and anatomist from the 17th century, revolutionized our understanding of human physiology through his meticulous studies on circulation. This early edition represents his pioneering work that laid down the foundation for modern cardiology. The image transports us back to an era when scientific knowledge was still being unearthed through diligent exploration. It evokes a sense of wonder as we witness scientists like Harvey delving deep into nature's mysteries to unravel its secrets. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of how far medical science has come since then. Yet, it also serves as a testament to those who paved the way for our current understanding and continues to inspire future generations to push boundaries in pursuit of knowledge.
