Footnotes
Vieussens (1641-1715), professor of Montpellier, was "the first to describe the centrum ovale correctly", and his Neurographia universalis "threw new light on the subject of the configuration and structure of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. With numerous large folding copperplates, it is considered the best illustrated work on the nervous system printed in the 17th century" (Garrison-Morton).
Provenance: Thomas Symonds of Pengethley Manor, Herefordshire, with his bookplate, ownership inscription, note of price paid ("Pr. 30s."), long note inside upper cover referring to other works on neurology, an 8-page manuscript index tipped-in inside upper cover, and several annotations including on margins of plate 23.
