- Notes: "Borelli was the first to recognize that bones were levers powered by the action of muscle, and devoted the first volume of his work to the external motions produced by this interaction. The second volume treats of internal motions such as the movements of the muscles themselves, circulation, respiration, secretion, and nervous activity"--Norman 270 (1680-81 original edition). Garrison-Morton 762.
