About This Item
NLM/Krivatsy 3836; Wellcome I, 2121 (IV), 2122 (II); Waller 2884 (II); D.S.B. IV, p.508. Exceptionally rare collection of early works by Fabrici on animal motion and physiology. OCLC/Worldcat knows of only two copies in the US (National Library of Medicine and University of Wisconsin-Madison). As with the other collected edition by Meglietti published the same year in folio format, individial tracts already printed had been taken and a general title added. All these works on animal anatomy and physiology may be considered as parts of the uncompleted but monumental Totius animalis fabricae theatrum which Fabrici meant to publish and to which he devoted many years. (D.S.B. IV, p.508).
De Motu locali animalium and De Musculi artificio are important works on the mechanics of animal motion by Fabricius, which exerted an influence on Borelli. Includes chapters devoted to walking, swimming, and (16 pages) flying. Fabricius' efforts were to "provide systematic teleological explanations of features of the parts of animals, both similarities and variations among related parts, emphasizing its Galenic and Aristotelian aspects ... Fabricius' use of mechanics [of animal motion] is most conspicuous in his discussion of the utilitates of muscles. It is here that we encounter Fabricius employing a number of more and less abstract diagrams in his analysis of muscles in terms of levers" P.Distelzweig, Descartes's teleomechanics in medical context. Dissertation, Univ. of Pittsburgh, 2013, pp. 50-51).
