Rare Neapolitan edition of Boerhaave's lectures edited and annotated by Haller. 'Boerhaave's influence spread throughout Europe. His textbooks were published in Great Britain France Germany and Italy among other countries and his students transmitted his teachings even to later generations since after Boerhaave's death (1738). Haller published a seven-volume edition of the Institutiones ... The medical faculties of the universities of Vienna Gottingen and Edinburgh were begun or reformed after the system that Boerhaave instituted at Leiden. Indeed the modern medical curriculum-with its emphasis on natural science anatomy physiology pathology and in particular clinical training-owes much to Boerhaave' (G.A. Lindeboom in DSB).
