BARTHOLIN. 1263
NOTE 289.
VIEUSSENS.
Vieussens, together with Willis, is the great authority which
Swedenborg followed in his several works on the brain. Excerpts
from Vieussens are contained in Codices 65 and 74 (see Document 310,
pp. 866 and 867). Raymond Vieussens, a French physician and ana
tomist, was born in 1641, and died at Montpellier in 1716. His
Neurographia Universalis; hoc est omnium corporis humani nervorum,
simul ac cerebri, medullæque spinalis descriptio anatomica, was pub
lished in folio at Lyons in 1685, 1761 , and 1774 ; it was likewise
dublished at Frankfort and Ulm, and at Tolosa. "Vieussens’ Neu
rographia," says Dr. Wilkinson, "was incomparably more ample and
faithful than anything on the subject that had been done before it.
Haller describes Vieussens as a man of unwearied industry, who
pursued his researches on the brain and nerves, which had hitherto
been studied almost exclusively in the lower animals, in the human
subject; and whose contributions to anatomy were most important.
The reader of the Regnum Animale will find much vigorous thought
in the Neurographia, particularly on the subject of the animal spirits,
respecting which Vieussens has treated at length in several chapters.
On this point the views of Swedenborg agree in great part with
those of Vieussens."
NOTE 290.
BARTHOLIN.
Thomas Bartholin was a Danish physician and anatomist, born
in Copenhagen in 1616, where he died in 1680. In 1641 he pub
lished the Institutiones Anatomica of his father Caspar Bartholin.
This work between 1641 and 1686 appeared at Leyden, the Hague,
and Rotterdam, in ten editions ; and likewise in two editions at
Lyons; it was also translated into English in 1668. It was the
common text book in the schools until the publication of Verheyen’s
Anatomy in 1693. Swedenborg refers to this work repeatedly in
all his anatomical works; excerpts from it also occur in Codex 74
(Document 310, p. 867).
