Original edition of this important dissertation on the anatomy and functioning of the heart.

Niels Stensen (1638-1686), Danish anatomist known as Nicolas Sténon, was a disciple of Thomas Bartholin in the domus anatomica of Copenhagen. He demonstrates here that the heart is only a muscular organ and gives a description of the respiratory muscles, especially the diaphragm.
