I.
LIBER DE HOMINIS STRUCTURA, AD PERDICCAM REGEM.
Haller, iv. p. 199.
Haller tells us this exists only in the Latin. It treats of the four elements; of nature; and the four humours of the human body, their constitution, and location, &c.; of arteries; veins; the causes of mirth or sorrow, pusillanimity, &c.; of lethargy, phrenitis, palsy. Some affections of the head depend on the stomach; sutures of the head occasionally wanting; colour of the hair, baldness, &c., explained. Three gradations of voice: grave, acute, and intermediate. Liver, its influence in digestion. Five senses. Fourteen constituents of man stated (qu. tissues?—Ed.), viz.: nerve, vein, artery, blood, spirit, flesh, fat, cartilage, nails, bones, marrow, hair, membrane, and humours. To these are added, in the female, milk and catamenia. Spine consists of twenty-four vertebræ, and as many ribs. Teeth more than thirty. Stomach in length five palms; intestines thirteen cubits. Names of the different fingers. The four seasons; their properties, &c. Some observations as to the non-naturals, &c.
