1615PaawP

 

Fragments from the book Paaw P. Primitiae anatomicae. De humani corporis ossibus (1615). The author describes the attachment areas of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF), notes its role in blood supply, innervation, pathogenesis of inflammation and pain. Rare original synonyms are used: peculiar ligamentum, purum ligamentum, teres, sanguinolentonerveum ligamentum.

Cap. III.

Tum & peculiar ligamentum sanguino lentum, quod ex centro capitis ossis femoris in ipsius acetabuli centrum infigitur, imò ei velut adnascitur. Hoc purum ligamentum minimè est, sed nerveæ naturæ, quod que sæpe inflammatum æstusensili significant egri. Iidem dolores pertinaces, ob insignem acetabuli profunditatem , ligamentorum que huic loco circumpositorum crassitiem; impedientium quominus aut discuti materia possit, aut topicorum efficacia ipsam attingere.

Cap. IV.

Translation

[Eng]

Chapter III

There is also a special ligament that supplies blood, which begins in the center of the head of the femur and is attached to the center of the acetabulum, even as if it were fused to it. Although this is a true ligament, it is of a nervous nature, which often causes inflammation and painful sensations. The same persistent pains are caused by the considerable depth of the acetabulum and the thickness of the ligaments surrounding it, which prevent both the spread of [used] drugs and the achievement of the effect of local remedies.

Chapter IV

From the center of the heads comes a round, blood-nerve ligament, which is attached to the center of the acetabulum of the hip joint, which is discussed during the examination of this bone; as well as a wide and strong ligament surrounding this joint to ensure its safety.

Human Children. Retelling of Chapter 1

[In Russian]  Chapter 1. THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD The Bible stands as a remarkable testament to religious and philosophical thought, passed down through the ages with minimal alterations. At its core lies a collection of texts rooted in the sacred writings of Jewish and Samaritan traditions, known as the Torah, meaning "Law" or "Teaching." In its narrowest sense, the Torah comprises the first five books of the Hebrew Bible, collectively called the Tanakh—an acronym derived from the Hebrew terms for "Law/Teaching" (Torah), "Prophets" (Nevi’im), and "Writings" (Ketuvim). Beyond this Written Torah, there exists an Oral Torah, which includes the Mishnah, Talmud, and Midrash, offering interpretations and expansions of the written texts. The Written Torah it...
