Hygrologia Corporis Humani, or ’Chemicophysiological Doctrine of the Humors Contained in the Human Body,’ by Joseph Jacob Plenck, is a significant historical text detailing the understanding of human physiology in the 18th century. Written in Latin, this work explores the classical humoral theory, which posited that the body’s health and temperament were governed by the balance of fluids such as blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile. Plenck’s comprehensive analysis provides invaluable insight into the medical and scientific thought of his time, reflecting the transition from ancient theories to more modern, chemical-based interpretations of bodily functions. This book serves as a primary source for those studying the history of medicine, the evolution of physiological concepts, and the intellectual context of the Enlightenment period. Its enduring value lies in its detailed exposition of a pivotal era in the understanding of human health and disease.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
