This volume provides an engaging series of studies that set Andrea Cesalpino's philosophical and medical writings within the context of sixteenth-century thought. They show that his allegiance to Aristotelian assumptions did not prevent him from pursuing new lines of enquiry and coming to different solutions. * David Lines, Professor of Renaissance Philosophy and Intellectual History, University of Warwick, UK * Philosopher and physician, botanist and naturalist, Andrea Cesalpino engaged in many of the most contentious natural philosophical debates of the sixteenth century. The contributors to this volume unravel his complex strands of thought, draw connections within and across his works, and reveal Cesalpino's centrality to early modern intellectual history. * Hannah Marcus, John and Ruth Hazel Associate Professor of the Social Sciences, Harvard University, USA *
