‎Scarce second enlarged Latin edition in which appeared for the first time Bernouilli's treatise on the mathematics of movements. Borelli's work was originally issued in the year of his death (1680), and represents the application of mechanics to the motion of the limbs of animals based largly on Galileo's mechanics. He furthermore originated the neurogenic theory of the heart's action and he was the first to suggest that the circulation resembled a simple hydraulic system. He was the first to insist that the heart beat was a simple muscular contraction. - Dibner Heralds of Science 190. Garrison & Morton 762.‎
