The Ebb and Flow of Blood: A Case Study on the Early Modern Analogy of Movement of Seawaters and the Circulation of Blood in the Human Body

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The study concerns a seventeenth century analogy between the movement of seawaters and the movement of fluids in human body. The ideas of Athanasius Kircher (1602-1680) on the geocosmos, expressed in his Mundus subterraneus (1664-1665) and Iter extaticumII (1657) are compared with the work of his correspondent, the physician from Wroclaw and editor of the first medicine journal, Philipp Jacob Sachs von Lewenheimb (1627-1672), who wrote Oceanus macro-microcosmicus (1664). In this analogy Sachs took intoaccount the latest discoveries of the Danish physician Thomas Bartholin (1616-1680) on the lymphatic system in addition to William Harvey's (1578-1657) experiments on the circulation of blood. These elements make Sachs' treatise an interesting mixture of a fundamentally analogical approach with the latest fi ndings of natural philosophy. Both authors use the analogy between the seawaters' movement and the movement of fl uids in the human body in different ways, which leads to an analysi
