Something I just found on the web:
"Dr Feindel, MDCM, is giving four rare books that will add to the
already impressive collection at the Osler Library. The author is Thomas
Willis (1621-75), a doctor at Oxford and (later) London, who coined the
word "neurology", and whose own name is immortalized in the "Circle of
Willis" - arteries that form a circle at the base of the brain."
