He believed that all physiological and pathological processes should be explained by the living properties of 'fi-
brae' ... His fundamental research concerning the fibers made him one of the most important students of muscle

Bellini's medical science. In England, too, B's theories enjoyed a considerable vogue from 1710 to 1730, when
such physicians as George Cheyene and Richard Mead tried to build a "Newtonian" theory of the "animal oeco-
nomy" and turned appreciatively to Bellini's writtings ... Bellini remained a major scientific authority until the

regulation and his experimental production of hypothermia.': DSB II, 30: 'While he accepted Lavoisier's theory,
which attributed the origin of animal heat to a combustion process, Bernard insisted on two fundamental modifi-

with the aid of special ferments; (2) organic combustion could not occur in the lungs exclusively, as Lavoisier
had taught, but in all tissue'.

DSB it, 301/2: Bordeu played a great role in the history of medical theories. (He) demonstrated that he considered
each organ as having its own life and believed that life was the sum of all these 'little lives' of the organs. Coordi-
nation among them was due to the mucous tissues. The organs and glands were set in motion by an irritation
termed 'sensibility.' These ideas opened the way for vitalism, a doctrine of which the school of Montpeller beca-
me the champion.': Bayle & Thill, n, 470/2: It contains at the end: 'Chilificationis historia' and 'Dissertatio phy-
siologica de sensu generice consideratio.' Bordeu first conceived the idea of internal secretion: Medvci 150,

a forerunner of the science of endocrinology, .. .his theories were rather widely held.'

compounds from which crystals could be obtained in sizes and amounts adequate for his investigations... (P.

they owed their optical inactivity to a compensation between left-handed and right-handed forms.': Duveen 460:

med to have isolated a soluble ferment capable of producing alcoholic fermentation independently of living
yeast... Pasteur attacked in devastating fashion the experiments by which Bernard believed he had destroyed
Pasteur's theory of fermentation as life without air. By carefully repeating these experiments and comparing
them with his own, Pasteur went a long way toward justifying his claim that Bernard's results were mistaken,
dubious or badly interpreted.'

pioneer of the injection method. The first description of bronchial blood vessels and vascular plexu-

of his anatomical Museum, later acquired by Peter 1, Tsar of Russia, is of particular interest. His

could be traced back to the cell prompted his dictum "Omnis cellula e cellula" ("every cell from a cell") to be
added to Flarvey's "omne vivum ex ovo" ("every living thing from an egg") and Pasteur's "Omne vivum e

Bibl. Belgica, V, 696: Cushing, VI.A.-3 (pp. 90 onw.): Dibner, 122 note: G. & M. 377: "A better edition of the
'Fabrica"': Garrison, 217 ff.: PMM, 71: Second illustrated edition, revised and more sumptuously produced
than the first one, originally published by Oporinus in 1543. The publication of this work marks the beginning
of a new era in medicine and specially in anatomy, based upon actual dissection; it supersedes Galen, whose
works had been accepted as the ultimate authority since classical antiquity. "A book of revolutionary moment
in anatomy, and in surgery in a format surpassed by no other scientific treatise". (Dibner): Choulant/Frank 182:
"The impression of the woodcuts is often clearer, and more beautiful than in the previous edition. ... The press-
work is more splendid; the fancy initials throughout are larger and more beautiful, and are also adorned with
drawings different from those of the first edition. The second edition therefore has, especially for practical pur-
poses, advantages over the first on account of additions in the text and in the illustrations, and particularly on
account of its more splendid make up.": The splendid woodcuts are ascribed to Tizian, or to a member of Titi-
an's school, probably Giovanni Steph. Calcar; famous are the 2 series of full-page illustrations with panoramic
landscapes in the background. This second edition was printed on larger and better paper and with larger types.
The title of the 2nd ed. is newly cut in wood. New initials were cut and the visibility of the legends on some
woodblocks were improved. The major feature in the revision of the text is the first diagnosis and description
of aneurism of the abdominal and thoracic aorta.
Despite the sm. defects mentioned, a fine copy with broad margins, of a monumental book.
