1206 NOTES TO VOLUME II.
NOTE 283.
WINSLOW.
Winslow’s great work entitled Exposition anatomique de la
structure du corps humain, was more copiously excerpted and
extracted from by Swedenborg than any other anatomical work. In
Codex 88 the extracts from that work fill upwards of 300 pages
(see Document 310, p. 873) ; those in Codex 57 (Document 310,
p. 859) are less extensive. Jacques Benigne Winslow was Danish
by birth. He was born at Odensee in the island of Fünen in 1669
and died in Paris in 1760. His anatomical treatise passed through
four editions in the French language, through five in the English,
and through two in the Latin. Dr. Wilkinson says respecting it,
"This treatise, in most of the departments of anatomy, superseded
all former manuals. According to Haller, it is the common fountain
from which the later, and the French anatomists especially, have
gained their anatomy; and it is the model on which the generality
of the text-books of that science has since been constructed. Winslow
changed his religion from Lutheran to Catholic on reading the works
of Bossuet, and on this occasion Bossuet gave him the addition of
Benigne to his name. Before his time anatomists generally took
out of the body the parts they were about to examine, so that the
relative situation and mutual connection of the parts were lost and
destroyed ; and when the cellular tissue was taken away, the very
shape was altered. Winslow has the distinguished merit of being
the first who described all things in the body in situ and in nexu.
He used to dissect the organs under water."
NOTE 284.
ALBINUS.
Albinus, the colleague of Boerhaave and Ruysch in the university
of Leyden, is quoted by Swedenborg in Codex 57 (Document 310,
p. 859). Haeser in his "History of Medicine," Jena, 1868, says
respecting him : "Bernhard Siegfried Albinus, originally Weiss, was
placed by his contemporaries in the first half of the last century in
the front rank among the anatomists. He was born in 1697, and
died in 1770. After finishing his studies at Leyden and Paris, he
was so early as 1721 appointed the successor of his former teacher
Rau, as professor of anatomy in the University of Leyden. This
