Gonzalez-Ulloa of Mexico book plate.<br /><br />Measures: 8.25 H x 6.5 D x 1 W inches.<br /><br />Notes: As is known Descartes labored on the work since 1630 but decided not to publish it privy to knowledge of Galileo's conviction in 1633. In acknowledgement of Harvey's important discovery Descartes did not believe that blood circulation was caused by heartbeats but considered the human body as a machine directed by a rational principle located in the pineal gland. Considered the first attempt to embrace all animal physiology the "De Homine ." is actually a kind of physiological supplement to the "Discours de la Methode" published in 1637 a source of inspiration for many scholars. "This book was the first attempt to cover the whole field of animal physiological appendix to his Discourse on method." Garrison-Morton. Work of fundamental importance among the most eminent products of human ingenuity. Good example Garrison-Morton 574. Wellcome Catalogue.
