About This Item

Abelard-Schuman, London, first edition, 1963. Cloth, 8vo, 23 cm,. 285 pp, ills. From the blurb: "This is an unusually lively and comprehensive history of the discoverers of blood circulation - a history whose chronicle, perhaps surprising to the reader, is full of daring men, radical ideas and sheer adventure. With an acute sense of historical perspective, Hungarian-born Dr. Tibor Doby describes the work and character of the most outstanding discoverers: Aristotle, Erasistratus, Galen, Al Nafiis, Leonardo da Vinci, Vesalius, Servetus, Columbus, Fabricius, Harvey, Malpighi. He tells us of their times, of the conventional ideas of blood, how these ideas were so naturally a part of classical and medieval beliefs; and why the discoverers' ideas were often so revolutionary, representing as they did an enlightening breakthrough against medieval thinking and stagnant traditionalism..With index, bibliography, reference charts, with over fifty new and original prints and drawing, with a preface by the late Dr. John F. Fulton.. Top edge duststained, otherwise near Very Good in slightly used dustwrapper.
