It describes in great detail why and how bodies which present with different magnitudes, weights and shapes move at a greater or a smaller velocity in certain proportion in the fluid environment. Originally published in Italian in 1667, then translated into Latin in 1686, the text of this volume has now been translated into English, making the text accessible to a wide readership. This volume is the second of two volumes that contain the Introduction and physical-mathematical illustrations necessary to understand Giovanni Alfonso Borelli?s work On the Movement of Animals, the founding text of seventeenth century biomechanics. The first volume, entitled On the Force of Percussion, demonstrates the nature of the energy of percussion, its causes, properties and effects. 410 0$aStudies in History and Philosophy of Science,$x0929-6425 ;$v38 517 3 $aOn the Movement of Animals 517 3 $aOn the natural motions resulting from gravity 606 $aAnimal mechanics$vEarly works to 1800 606 $aGravity$xPhysiological effect$vEarly works to 1800 606 $aAnimal locomotion$vEarly works to 1800 606 $aFluids$vEarly works to 1800 606 $aBiomechanics$vEarly works to 1800 606 $aMotion$vEarly works to 1800 606 $aHistory of Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/731000 606 $aHistory of Medicine$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H64000 615 0$aAnimal mechanics 615 0$aGravity$xPhysiological effect 615 0$aAnimal locomotion 615 0$aFluids 615 0$aBiomechanics 615 0$aMotion 615 14$aHistory of Science. 615 24$aHistory of Medicine. 676 $a531.11 700 $aBorelli$b Giovanni Alfonso$f1608-1679$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 701 2$aBorelli$b Giovanni Alfonso$f1608-1679.$055061 702 $aMaquet$b Paul G.
