He was also director of the botanical gardens there... The present work is his most important contribution and was popular as a textbook for a number of years. VESLING aimed to explain the parts of the body as they were encountered during dissection and to avoid discussion of theoretical matters in order not to create confusion. However, he departed from his stated purpose to give a clear picture of the circulation of the blood and action of the heart based on Harvey's research. His descriptions of the lymphatics and asertion that four pulmonary veins normally empty into the heart's left auricle are of particular scientific significance". (Heirs of Hippocrates 1641 ed.) ---- "BLASIUS (or Blaes) was a dutch anatomist and physician whose primary interest was in comparative anatomy, the field in which he made his major scientific contributions. As professor of medicine at Amsterdam, he was also a practicing physician". (Heirs of Hippocrates)**5190/H1‎
