‎De Motu Animalium, pars prima. Editio Nova, a plurimis mendis repurgata, A C Dissertationibus Physico-Mechanicis‎

‎Hagae comitum, Petrum Gosse, 1743, , 3 parties en 1 vol. in-4, front, [10]-228-[18] et [4]-270-[14] pp. ; 45 pp, 19 pl. dépl, Basane de l'époque, dos à nerfs fleuroné, pièce de titre grenat, tranches rouges, Frontispice gravé sur cuivre. Ouvrage publié pour la première fois en 1680. C'est un monument consacré à l'étude du mouvement des muscles et de leurs fonctions. L'édition présentée ici contient des nouvelles figures et, à la fin, un important traité du mathématicien et physicien Daniel Bernoulli sur le même sujet. Élève de Galilée et disciple de Harvey, Giovanni Alfonso Borelli (1608-1679) applique les lois de la mécanique aux mouvements du corps; il démontre que les os des membres agissent comme des leviers et que les muscles qui les meuvent doivent être considérés comme des sortes de moteurs. Pour lui, d'autres fonctions comme la digestion, la respiration et la circulation du sang obéissent aussi à des lois purement mécaniques et mathématiques dont il démontre le rythme par des diagrammes chiffrés, parfois très complexes. Plats frottés, coiffes arasées, coins émoussés. Exemplaire provenant de la bibliothèque du mathématicien Michel Chasles. Couverture rigide‎

‎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.‎
