The workes of that famous chirurgion Ambrose Parey translated out of Latin and compared with the French. by Tho: Johnson. Whereunto are added three tractates our of Adrianus Spigelius of the veines, arteries, & nerves, with large figures. Also a table of the bookes and chapters.

An Explanation of the Table of the Veins.

This Table delineates the Hollow-vein, en¦tire, and free from all parts. Wherein we have marked the Trunks, and larger branches, with pretty great letters: but the propagations with little ones; and when they are at an end, with figures.

* 1.1THe Ascendent Trunk of the Hollow vein, the beginning whereof is about A, which notes the place, wherein the Liver should stand in the proportion of this figure, the end about D. For it passes on undivided from the con∣vex part of the Liver, about which it scatters little branches,* 1.2 a a a as far as to the Hollow of the Neck; but it scatters some propagations, three in number. The first of these ae ae,* 1.3 is called vena Phrenica the vein of the Midriff, which is distributed of both sides into the Midriff and Pericardium, or purse of the Heart growing thereto, as also i•••••• the Mediastinum or par∣tition of the Chest.

Another is Vena Coronaria the Crown-vein, bb,* 1.4 which embraces the basis of the heart in manner of a Crown, dispersing many Surcles to the point of it. The third is the vein Azygos, or without a mate, cc,* 1.5 which issuing out from the right side of the Hol∣low-vein, about the heart, about the fifth Rack-bone of the Chest, goes down near to the right side of the Rack-benes, as far as to the second almost of the loines. There are ten propagations ddd from this,* 1.6 sent to as many bony distances of the ribs, which are called Inter costa les inferiores, the lower veins betwixt the ribs.

* 1.7Shews how the Trunk AD is bowed toward the right side, because of the situation of the heart.

* 1.8The orifice of the Hollow-vein reaching into the right ventricle of the heart.

* 1.9The division of the Ascendent Trunk about the Hol∣low of the Neck,* 1.10 into two branches EE, which they call subclaviae, or the veins under the Collar-bones. From these arise many propagations, some issuing from the lower, others from the upper part of them.

Out of the lower part issue five. The first is called Intercostalis superior the upper vein between the ribs,* 1.11 e, and scatters two Surcles f f, to the distan∣ces of the three upper ribs.* 1.12 The second is mamma∣ria the vein of the dugs,* 1.13 g, which descending under the brest-bone, as far as to the strait Muscles of the Abdomen, is inoculated 10, with the Epigastrick vein climbing upward, 9, giving surcles to the gristly distances of the true ribs, as also to the Mediastinum, and Muscles, that lye upon the Breast. The third cal∣led Mediastina,* 1.14 h, is disseminated into the Media∣stinum, or partition of the Chest. The fourth ver∣tebralis,* 1.15 or the vein of the Rack-bones, i. climbs up through the holes, that are bored in the transverse pro∣cesses of the Rack-bones of the Neck, distributing springs to the Muscles, that lye upon the Rack-bones. The fifth is called Cervicalis or the vein of the hin∣der part of the Neck,* 1.16 l, distributed into the Muscles, seated on the lower part of the back side of the neck and on the upper part of the Chest. Out of the upper part issue three. The first is Jugularis interna, the inner vein of the Hollow of the Neck,* 1.17 m, which having sent over small sprigs from its outer branch to the Chops, and region of the Ear, is joyned by the inner all the way to the Arteria carotis, or sl••••py A••i••••y and is di∣vided near to the skull into two branches called Ence∣phalici or of the Brain, by Spigelius: of which the hindmost and greater,* 1.18 n, having entred into the skull through the second hole of the Nowl bone, is in∣serted o o into the first 1,* 1.19 & second 2 si••us of the thick membrane.* 1.20 But the foremost and lesser, p, having entred through the seventh hole of the wedg-bone, is scatered through the sides of the thick membrane. The second is the outer Jugular vein,* 1.21 q, which getting up by the sides of the Neck is divided near to the Ears,* 1.22 r, into two branches; of which the one called Profun∣dus,* 1.23 s. is variously disseminated into the Muscles of the Larinx or Throttle, and the bone called hyoides, as also into the Tongue, the Palat, and hollowness of the Nostrils, and lastly into the skull with three propaga∣tions,* 1.24 of which that which p••sses t, out of the fore part of the eye, through the second hole of the wedg-bone, is very well delineated here. The other called Subcuta∣neus,* 1.25 u, first of all spreads its fore-branch x, into the Muscles and skin of the Face,* 1.26 which joins with its fellow about the top of the nose, and makes the Fore∣head vein y,* 1.27 then it issues out another hinder branch, which partly, creeps upward along the temples z and partly is carried behinde the ears to the skin of the back part of the head.* 1.28 α The third, Cervicalis Supe∣rior,* 1.29 the upper vein of the Neck, β is propagated into the Muscles behinde on the backside of the neck There are three sinus or small chanels of the thick mem∣brane of the brain; the first or right one is marked with 1,* 1.30 the second or left one with 2, the third with 3.* 1.31 The hinder part of this, which is nearer to the Nowl of the Head,* 1.32 is shadowed, but the forepart, which is next to the Forehead, is seen manifestly. From this sinus many little veins, which they call Ductus, are reacht forth to both sides.

* 1.33Here the subclavian vein takes on it the name of Axillaris or the vein of the Armpit, and is divided into two branches, the Cephalick G, and the Basilick I. But before this division it scatters two twigs: the first called scapularis interna, or the inner vein of the shoulder blade,* 1.34 γ, the other Scapularis externa, the outer blade vein δ.* 1.35 the Basilick vein also I, before it enters the Arm, propagates two; one called Tho∣racica superior,* 1.36 the upper Chest-vein, ε, which is distributed through the inside of the Pectoral Muscle, and in women, through the Dugs: the other called Thoracica inferior,* 1.37 the lower Chest-vein, ζ which descending along the side of the Chest, goes to the Mus∣cle called Aniscalptor.

* 1.38The Cephalick vein, which, before its division, sends away a sprig,* 1.39 η, into the Muscle deltoides, and another θ into the Muscle of the Cubit.* 1.40

When the Cephalick vein comes to the joint of the Cubit, at the outer bunching forth of the Arm, it is cut into three branches,* 1.41 H, The first, ι, or deep and middle one goes to the Muscles arising from the said protube∣ration.* 1.42 The second, χ, or inner goes to the making of the vein called Mediana λ.* 1.43 The third μ, or outer is carried obliquely,* 1.44 ν, by the radius or lesser bone of the Cubit to the out side of the Arm,* 1.45 and so creeping on obliquely all the way, when it is come to the root of the wrist, it is joyned with a little branch of the Ba∣silick-vein,

τ,* 1.46 and makes the vein called Salvatella.

The basilick-vein, which on the right hand is cal∣led Hepatica▪ or of the Liver, on the left Lienatis, of the Spleen. This before its division sends out a Surcle, ο,* 1.47 to the heads of the muscles of the Cubit; and then another notable one π,* 1.48 which being carried down ob∣liquely, bestows its Surcles upon the Muscles, that a∣rise from the outer protuberation of the Arm.

* 1.49The division of the Basilick-vein K, into two bran∣ches, the one called Profundus or the deep one, the o∣ther Subcutaneus, or branch under the skin. The deep one L,* 1.50 when it comes to the bending of the cu∣bit, is divided into two,* 1.51 M, one of which called Ra∣dieus N,* 1.52 at the Radieus, or lesser bone of the Cubit; the other called cubiteus,* 1.53 O, at the greater bone of the Cubit, goes to the hand.

* 1.54Subcutaneus, or the branch next under the skin P, near to the inner protuberation of the arm is divided,* 1.55 Q,* 1.56 into two other, of which the inner R, together with the inner branch of the Cephalick η▪ makes up the vein mediana λ, which it likewise divided into two bran∣ches,* 1.57 the outer of which, ρ, is called by some Cephalica manus,* 1.58 and goes to the Thumb; the inner ς to the fore and middle fingers:* 1.59 The outer S, going to the wrist, is joyned toward the little finger with the outer branch of the Cephalick-vein about τ.

* 1.60The little valves, which are found in the veins of the joynts, are handsomely cut out here, as it were to be seen through.

The descendent Trunk of the Hollow-vein which begins about the region of the Liver T,* 1.61 and ends a∣bout the fifth Rack-bone of the loins V.* 1.62 There are four Twigs growing from this.* 1.63 The first υ called Adipo∣sa or Fatty-vein, distributed to the membrane of the Kidneys.* 1.64 The second φ the Emulgent going to the Kidney. The third, praeparans vas, the preparing vessel:* 1.65 the right one χ arising out of the Trunk T.V. the left ψ out of the left Emulgent▪* 1.66 both afterward go∣ing into the Testicles ω.* 1.67 The fourth is the three Lum∣res or lein-veins 444.* 1.68

The division of the Descendent Trunk V, into the two Iliacal branches XX,* 1.69 both which are again divi∣ded into two other,* 1.70 an inner one Y, and an outer Z. But before this division two propagations are issued forth,* 1.71 Muscula lumbalis,* 1.72 or the Muscle vein of the loins 5, and Sacra or the holy vein 6.* 1.73

* 1.74The inner Iliacal-vein, before it goes out of the Peritoreum, or rim of the belly, shoots out two propa∣gations, the first called Glutaea 7,* 1.75 and the second Hy∣pogastrica 8.* 1.76 The remainder of it passing through the Peritoneum, is spent upon the inside of the Thigh.

* 1.77The outer Iliacal vein likewise before its going forth of the Peritoneum scatters three propagations; the first called Epigastrica 9,* 1.78 going into the Muscles of the Epigastrium, and the strait ones of the Abdo∣men, where they are joyned by Anastomosis, or inecu∣lation 10.* 1.79 The second called Pudenda, 11. spent upon the privy parts.* 1.80 The third Coxalis, 12, upon the Muscles of the Hip.* 1.81

Here the outer Iliacal vein having past through the Peritoneum or rim of the Belly enters the Crus, and begins to be called the Crural Trunk Γ,* 1.82 that is undi∣vided as far as to the two lower heads of the Thigh. But it reaches forth four propagations before its divi∣sion. The first 13,* 1.83 is called Saphena, which creeps through the inside of the Leg, under the skin as far as to the ends of the Toes.* 1.84 Another 14 called Ichia is spread out into the skin upon the Hip-bone. The third 15 named Muscula is sent to the Muscles,* 1.85 which ex∣tend the Leg.* 1.86 The fourth 16 named Poplitea is di∣stributed into the Calf of the Leg.

* 1.87The vein Saphena also scatters from it self four surcles,* 1.88 the first 17 into the upper part of the skin of the inside of the Thigh:* 1.89 the second 18 about the middle of the Thigh:* 1.90 the third 19 into the Knee: the fourth 20 is carried forward and backward to the middle of the Leg.* 1.91

* 1.92The division of the Crural Trunk near to the two lower heads of the Thigh into an inner branch Θ,* 1.93 and an outer one Λ.* 1.94

* 1.95The inner distributes little branches to the Muscles of the Calf 21,* 1.96 and then runs down under the inner ankle to the great Toe 22.* 1.97

* 1.98The outer presently is cleft into two branches, an in∣ner one Ξ,* 1.99 and an outer Π. That is spent wholly upon the Muscles of the Calf:* 1.100 this passes on near to the Fi∣bula or lesser bone of the Leg, through the outer and back-side of the Leg.
