"Bartholin’s fame is due not to his originality but to his learning and reputation as a teacher; as a strict Aristotelian he clarified the essential points in the doctrines of his time eliminating obsolete and superfluous theories. As a theologian his personal life was marked by piety and Lutheran orthodoxy. His anatomical manual Institutiones well arranged and handy but without illustrations was reprinted five times. It became still more famous when his son Thomas brought out an enlarged and illustrated edition."DSB. hardcover
