Comparable in importance to Copernicus’s De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium (1543), William Harvey’s Exercitatio Anatomica de Motu Cordis et Sanguinis in Animalibus (1628) revolutionized human anatomy. This talk by Dr. Nick Wilding will explore the movement and reception of Harvey’s theory across Europe, paying special attention to the evidence from the marginalia by Marc’Aurelio Severino in Dr. John Loeb’s presentation copy.
