The 4th floor at Hardin is now open. The bookstacks and open study areas are accessible.
Construction is still occuring in the study rooms–we do not know when they will be available to use.
There’s a new exhibit at the Hardin Library, 3rd floor near the front door.
The exhibit includes information about the medieval bonesetters along with some medical giants who developed the techniques used by the bonesetters: Galen, Avicenna, Hans von Gersdorff, Guido Guidi, and Johannes Schultetus.
Check it out.
Notes from the JMRBR, October 2011
Thomas Bartholin (1616-1680). Opuscula nova anatomica, de lacteis thoracicis et lymphaticis vasis. 1670.
Bartholin’s classic treatises on the lymphatics are two of the works reprinted in this collection. Bartholin first reported his discovery of the thoracic duct in De lacteis thoracicis in homine brutisque in 1652. Bartholin was the first to recognize the physiological importance of the lymphatic system.
