This is by far the most exhaustive biography on Niels Stensen,
anatomist, geologist and bishop, better known as "Nicolaus Steno".
We learn about the scientist's family and background in Lutheran
Denmark, of his teachers at home and abroad, of his studies and
travels in the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Italy, Austria,
Hungary, Bohemia and Germany, of his many pioneering achievements
in anatomy and geology, of his encounters with Swammerdam, Malpighi
and with members of the newly established Royal Society of London
and the Accademia del Cimento in Florence, and with the philosopher
Spinoza. It further treats Stensen's religious conversion. The book
includes the full set of Steno's anatomical and geological
scientific papers in original language. The editors thoroughly
translated the original Latin text to English, and included
numerous footnotes on the background of this bibliographic and
scientific treasure from the 17th century.
