      abstract = {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 Santorios 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.
