Their text is the first to make use of Arabic translations of \u003ci\u003eAn in arteriis\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eDe usu pulsuum\u003c\/i\u003e based on a Greek text that is earlier and better than the surviving tines. These translations have enabled them to make substantial improvements in the earlier editions of the treatises. Introducing the text are essays by Professors Furley and Wilkie on the history of theories of respiration and bloodflow in classical antiquity, the influence of Galen's work on Harvey, and Galen's experimentation and argument. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOriginally published in 1984. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe \u003cb\u003ePrinceton Legacy Library\u003c\/b\u003e uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
