Circulation of the blood Teleology Mechanism; mechanical philosophy Aristotelianism Padua (Italy) Franzosi, Girolamo Harvey, William Galen University of Padua

Few discoveries in the history of medicine had a greater impact than William Harvey's discovery of the circulation of blood, and few intellectual milieus of the early modern period had as decisive a part in the rise of `modern' medicine and the shaping of the western scientific mentality in general than the philosophical and scientific movement of `Venetian Aristotelianism', which grew up around the University of Padua, where Harvey himself had studied. In this chapter, I aim to explore some aspects of the intellectual movement of `Venetian Aristotelianism' as well as the debate that ensued upon the discovery of the circulation of blood. My focus, however, is not on any of the major protagonists, but rather on a quite marginal figure in this debate, namely Hieronymus Franzosi. Keywords: blood circulation, Harvey, Franzosi, teleology, mechanism, Aristotelianism
