This volume provides an introduction to Borelli s theory on the
movement of animals and describes his theory and scientific
experiments relating to the natural movements of bodies in a fluid
environment. It describes in great detail why and how bodies which
present with different magnitudes, weights and shapes move at a
greater or a smaller velocity in certain proportion in the fluid
environment.
Originally published in Italian in 1667, then translated into
Latin in 1686, the text of this volume has now been translated into
English, making the text accessible to a wide readership.
This volume is the second of two volumes that contain the
Introduction and physical-mathematical illustrations necessary to
understand Giovanni Alfonso Borelli s work "On the Movement of
Animals, " the founding text of seventeenth century biomechanics.
The first volume, entitled "On the Force of Percussion," "
"demonstrates the nature of the energy of percussion, its causes,
properties and effects."
