Description
First published in 1681 under title: A compleat treatise of the muscles. The description of the muscles is based on William Molins' Myskotomia, and the plates partly on Guilio Casserio's Tabula anatomicae.
From t.p.: Together with a philosophical and mathematical account of the mechanism of muscular motion, and an accurate and concise discourse of the heart and its use, with the circulation of the blood, &c. and with a compleat account of the arteries and veins, as to their outward coats, proving them to be made with circular fleshy fibres, by whose contractions their trunks become narrowed, and the fluid particles of the blood are sent forwards into all the parts of the body.
Indexed in: Index: p. 184-186.
