Publication Details

Winchester, Hampshire, England: St. Paul's Bibliographies & San Francisco, CA: Norman Publishing, 1989 CE.

This is the definitive edition of a bibliography first published by Sir Geoffrey Keynes in 1928 on the three hundredth anniversary of De motu cordis, and revised by him for a second edition in 1953. It contains a new introduction by Whitteridge, taking account of then-recent research, particularly on Harvey’s manuscript works. Editions of Harvey’s works published since the second edition of the bibliography issued in 1953 were added, the details of locations of copies were updated, and the census of copies of the first edition of De motu cordis was revised.
Keynes was also the author of a classic biography, The life of William Harvey (1966).
