Abstract

This small format book written in Latin is Jan Swammerdam’s medical graduation thesis from the University of Leiden. Shortly after this, Swammerdam (1637-1680) abandoned medicine and spent the rest of his life working and writing on the biology of insects, for which he is now best remembered. This page discusses how inspiration and expiration might be measured.
