In this book he gives the first description of the capsule of the liver and describes its blood supply. Here, too, is the description of the sphincter of the bile duct.\u00a0 In its time, the Anatomia hepatis was the most important treatise thus far on the physiology of the digestive system.<\/p>\n<p>Our library owns a first edition of this work, as well as a 1681 edition published in The Hague.\u00a0 Other editions came out in 1659 and 1665. Glisson also wrote books on rickets and the intestines.\u00a0 For more information about Francis Glisson see the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oxforddnb.com\/view\/article\/10819\">Oxford Dictionary of National Biography<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>You may view this book in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lib.uiowa.edu\/hardin\/rbr\/\">John Martin Rare Book Room, Hardin Library for the Health Sciences<\/a>.
