Fragments from the book Bartholin T. Anatome (1673). The author talks about the topography, attachment, role, physical and geometric properties of ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). The epithet «cartilaginosus» is mentioned, first used by Galen of Pergamon (2020ArkhipovSV_ProlyginaIV,). The first quotation discusses Latin and Greek synonyms for the term «ligament» (see also Basic Scientific Synonyms).

DE LIGAMENTIS IN GENERE.
Ligamentum, vel vinculum, Græcis [syndesmos] dicitur. Antiqui ut
Hippocrates, Ariſtoteles, & alicubi etiam Galenus, vocarunt nervum, item nervum
colligatum, quia figura & colore nervum mentitur & alioquin late ligamenti
vox tribui potest cuivis parti, quæ plures colligat. Item ligamentum Galeno
dicitur principium musculi, cujus pars in tendinem abire putatur. Hæ omnes
impropriæ sunt acceptiones. Proprie dictum ligamentum jam explicabitur.

DE OSSIBUS TOTIUS PEDIS.
…
1. 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.
Est & aliud ligamentum cruentum intra acetabulum interjectum
ossibus, notatum Vesalio; tale ligamentum reperitur in articulatione Tibiæ cum femore,
in osse scaphoide cum asragalo, in articulatione ossis sacri cum osse ilium,
quod apparet manifestum in puerperis, Riolani monitu.

Chapter XXI. ABOUT CONNECTIONS IN GENERAL.
Ligamentum end vinculum the Greeks call the
[syndesmos]. The ancients, such as Hippocrates,
Aristotle, and also sometimes Galen, called it a nerve, also a ligament nerve,
because in shape and color it resembles a nerve [nervum], and in addition, the word ligament can be broadly
applied to any part that connects several other parts. In addition, Galen calls
the ligament the beginning of a muscle, part of which is believed to pass into
the tendon. All of these values are inaccurate. The proper meaning of the
word ligamentum will now be explained. …

Chapter XXI.
ABOUT THE BONES OF THE WHOLE LEG
...
1. This is the largest and round head, formed by a
process, which is inserted into the acetabulum of the pelvis and is connected
to the pelvis by two ligaments: one common, wide, membranous, but rather thick,
covering the entire joint around; the other, round, almost like cartilage (as
if it were a cartilaginous nerve/sinew), between the head of the femur and the
depression of the cavity, [intended] to prevent the head of the femur from
falling out.
There is also another ligament having a blood supply, located within the acetabulum between the bones, noted by Vesalius; a similar ligament is found in the articulation of the tibia with the femur, the scaphoid with the talus, and in the articulation of the sacrum with the ilium, which manifests itself in women in labor, according to Riolan.
