Fragment from the book Bartholin C. Anatomicae Institutiones Corporis Humani (1626). The author describes the anatomy, topography, geometric and mechanical properties of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). The term «terete» (rounded) is used to indicate its geometry. The term «cartilagine» (cartilaginous) is used to describe the hardness of the LCF, and the analogy of «nervus esset cartilaginosus» (like a cartilaginous sinew) is given. Similar terminological elements are present in the works of Galen of Pergamon and Theophilus Protospatharius (2020ArkhipovSV_ProlyginaIV). See the previous edition at the link: 1611BartholinC

Cap. XXI. DE OSSIBUS TOTIUS PEDIS.
…
I. Est caput maximum & rotundum, ex appendice factum, quod in
coxendicis acetabulum inseritur, & duplici ligamento cum coxendice nectitur:
uno communi, lato, membraneo, sed satis crasso, orbiculatum articulum ambiente;
altero terete, quasi cartilagine (ac si nervus esset cartilaginosus) inter
femoris caput & profunditatem cavitatis, ne femoris caput excidat.
Translation
[Eng]
Chapter XXI. Of the Bones of the Whole Leg.
I. This is the large and round head [of the femur], formed from the
appendix, which is inserted into the acetabulum and is connected to the pelvis
by two ligaments: one common, wide, membranous, but quite thick, surrounding
the joint; the other rounded, almost cartilaginous (as if it were a
cartilaginous sinew), located between the head of the femur and the depression
of the cavity, so that the head of the femur does not fall out [of the socket].
