In 17th-century Leiden the theatrum anatomicum was a venue not to be missed. But what was the thinking behind this theatre, established in 1594, and its collection of rarities? Who were the scholars who worked there and what were their objectives? This study, that straddles the fields of science and cultural history, goes in search of the Leiden anatomists of the Dutch Golden Age, and their quest for evidence of the finger of God. Huisman investigates both anatomical practice and the individuals involved with the aim to give insight into the philosophical and metaphysical reflections to which the study of the human body gave rise. Tim Huisman is curator of art and history at the Museum Boerhaave, the Dutch national museum for the history of science and medicine.
First published in 1950, this monograph on the morphology of flowering plants explores the relationship between philosophy and botany.
Published in the early eighteenth century, Herman Boerhaave's Institutiones Medicae was the most influential medical textbook of its time. Boerhaave was a brilliant physician and teacher, and his book provided a comprehensive overview of the medical knowledge of his day. Although much has changed in medicine since Boerhaave's time, his insights into the nature of disease and the importance of careful observation and diagnosis remain just as relevant today.
