Studi medicina a Canterbury, Cambridge e Padova, dove ebbe maestro G. Fabrizi di Acquapendente e consegu la laurea. Insegn anatomia e fisiologia al Royal college of physicians (dal 1615); nel 1642 ebbe la direzione del Merton College di Oxford. I suoi stud costituiscono una tappa essenziale nella storia della medicina, per avere egli avuto per primo la visione completa della circolazione del sangue (cfr. Treccani online).Cfr. Garrison & Morton,467 (in nota alla prima edizione di Londra, O. Pulleyn, 1651): The most important book on the subject to appear during the 17th century. Harvey was among the first to disbelieve the erroneous doctrine of the preformation of the foetus; he maintained that the organism derives from the ovum by the gradual building up and aggregation of its parts. The chapter on midwifery in this book is the first work on that subject to be written by an Englishman. This book also demonstrates Harveys intimate knowledge of the existing literature on the subject. He corrected many of the errors of Fabricius. Cfr. anche Walleriana,4119 - Welcome,III,220 - Heirs of Hippocrates,436.Piccola mancanza senza perdite al margine inferiore del frontespizio inciso; alc. fioriture principalmente nella prima parte del volume e una macchia al margine superiore degli ultimi fascicoli; nota di possesso al foglio di guardia anteriore, altrimenti buon esemplare..‎
