Levator Patientiae.
THis is also called Scapulam Attollens: This ariseth from
the second, third, fourth, and fifth Transverse Pro∣cesses
of the Neck, and hath as many Originations
with their Interstitia: these joyning do descend, and adjoyn
to the whole upper side of the Rhomboides, until it is inserted
by a broad, Fleshy Tendon to the highest, as also to the lower
Angle of the Scapula, and doth draw the same upwards and
forwards, and is raised with the Arm.
This Muscle had its name from Spigelius: it bearing many
heavy burdens, for the Scapula by the help hereof with the
Arm is lifted up forwards, and hence takes the better name of
Patientiae.
This you have at Tab. 15. at A. laid bare, 1. 2. 3. 4. Shews its
four beginnings.
