Bartholin immediately recognised the significance of Marcello Malpighi's (1628-1694) work on the lungs, De pulmonibus (Bologna, 1661) - not least because it provided the first account and illustration of the capillaries, the link between arteries and veins hypothesised by Harvey as a requirement for a systemic circulation of the blood.
