This paper studies the “human circulatory statues” which Salomon Reisel designed in the 1670s in order to demonstrate the circulation of the blood and its effect on the brain. It investigates how Reisel intended this project to promote Descartes’ philosophy, and how it relates to contemporary diagrammatic schematizations of the blood circulation system. It further explores Reisel’s claims concerning the epistemological and practical advantages of working with a three-dimensional model and argues that Reisel intended his statua to address the concerns of his fellow physicians and, more specifically, to help in diagnostics. I consider the background, strategy and legacy of the essays in which Reisel presented his devices, as well as their relevance to the general project of the scien­tific journal – one of the earliest – in which they appeared, the Miscellanea Curiosa. Reisel was a leading physician who acted throughout his life as a mediator between the Royal Society and the Academia Naturæ Curiosorum. His articles, the paper argues, have much to tell us much about the role played by the recently established scientific academies and their journals in shaping the transmission of early modern science and medicine, in terms both of theories and of the knowledge embodied in scientific instruments.

本文研究了所罗门·赖塞尔（Salomon Reisel）在1670年代设计的“人体循环雕像”，以证明血液的循环及其对大脑的影响。它研究了赖塞尔（Reisel）打算如何计划推广笛卡尔的哲学，以及它与血液循环系统的当代图解方案之间的关系。它进一步探讨了Reisel关于使用三维模型的认识论和实践优势的主张，并指出Reisel打算使用他的身份解决他的同胞的担忧，更具体地说，是帮助诊断。我考虑了Reisel提出其论文的论文的背景，策略和传承，以及它们与科学期刊（最早出现的论文之一）的总体项目的相关性，即Miscellanea Curiosa。Reisel是一位杰出的医师，他一生都在皇家学会和自然科学研究院之间担任调解人。该论文认为，他的文章在理论和科学仪器中所包含的知识方面，可以告诉我们许多新近成立的科学研究院及其期刊在塑造早期现代科学和医学的传播方面所起的作用。 。
