    A thorny problem : Galen, Fabricius and Harvey on muscle
    Nayler, Margaret Anne ( 1975)
    'Having wrought our way through the darke and shady grove of the Muscles "Nulli penetrabilis astro", into the secret whereof I think no man is able to reach: (And therefore it shall be no wonder if we bring some scratches out of so thorny a copse) we are now arrived in those meadows, where the vessels like so many brookes do water and refresh this pleasant Paradise or modell of heaven and earth: I meane the body of man.' The above passage appears in the 1631 edition of Helkiah Crooke's Microcosmographia, A Description of the Body, of Man Together with the Controversies and Figures thereto belonging: it follows his discussion of muscle and precedes his account of the veins, arteries and nerves which he obviously regarded as a less complex topic.
