The endeavour of Jean Fernel by Sir Charles Sherrington
An important study by the distinguished neuro-physiologist Sir Charles Sherrington of the sixteenth century physician and scientist Jean Fernel (1497-1558). From a contemporary review by Henry Guerlac in Isis: “The Endeavour of Jean Fernel . confines itself to the career and the accomplishments of [its subject]. It is the only modern study of this important figure in the history of science, with an account of his life and intellectual development, and a summary of his scientific opinions. A penetrating evaluation of Fernel s work is followed by a translation of the chief biographical source concerning Fernel, the short Life by Guillaume Plancy, and by a listing of Fernel s principal works
