Abstract
One of the main representatives of iatromechanics, the Croatian physician Giorgio Baglivi (1668–1707) strongly supported and practised Santorio’s principles in his medicine. His Canones de medicina solidorum (1704), a commentary on Santorio’s Medicina statica, was repeatedly printed throughout the eighteenth century. Canones, however, are something completely different from an ordinary line-by-line commentary: Baglivi rather tries to corroborate his views in physiology and pathology by means of an original and new-fashioned interpretation of Santorio’s work.File in questo prodotto:
