This book examines the life and works of Santorio Santori and his
impact on the history of medicine and natural philosophy. Reputed
as the father of experimental medicine and procedures, he is also
known for his invention of numerous scientific instruments,
including early precision medical devices (pulsimeters,
hygrometers, thermometers, anemometers), as well as clinical and
surgical tools. The chapters in this volume explore Santorio's
legacy through the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. They
highlight the role played by medical practitioners such as Santorio
in the development of corpuscularian ideas, central to the 'new
science' of the period, and place new emphasis on the role of the
life sciences, chemistry and medicine in encouraging new forms of
experimentation and instrument-making. Chapters 1 and 2 are
available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0
