It is interesting to notice that it was the finding of an Ophidian parasite which prompted Francesco Redi to write his famous "Observations on the Living Animals which are found within Living Animals.
Thus, Redi was quite right in considering the immature, encysted forms found in one of the livers of his double-headed Asp as belonging to the same species of eelworm (Ascaris cephaloptera) as that which the snake harboured in its intestine.
Redi ascertained, will in twenty-four hours devour so much food, and grow so quickly, as to increase their weight two hundred fold!
Some time after making this experiment I stumbled upon a passage inRedi (De Insectis, p.
Redi does not deny this phenomenon, neither does he confirm it.
Redi remarks, besides, that the pain and trembling sensation resulting from the touch diminishes as the death of the Torpedo approaches, and that it ceases altogether when the animal dies.
Neither Redi nor Réaumur, however, could explain the cause of the strange phenomenon.
Redi did not trouble himself much with speculative considerations, but attacked particular cases of what was supposed to be "spontaneous generation" experimentally.
Compare also what Redi has to say respecting Harvey's opinions, Esperienze, p.
But Redi also thought that there were two modes of Biogenesis.

At that time Francesco Redi published the results of his inquiries into the doctrine of spontaneous generation.

Redi also visited the most celebrated schools, but for the sole purpose of studying the old masters, and of making copies of their works, some of which, with a few pieces of his own invention, remain in his family.
Tommaso Rediwas a pupil of the same master; and is noticed in the Lettere Pittoriche, as a good composer of historical pictures, and is also praised for design, colouring, and spirit.
The sonnets of Redi are esteemed; but his famous dithyrambic, Bacco in Toscana, is admitted to be the first poem of that kind in modern language, and is as worthy of Monte Pulciano wine, as the wine is worthy of it.
Redi also enlarged our knowledge of intestinal animals, and made some good experiments on the poison of vipers.
Redi was, as his name indicates, an Italian, an inhabitant of Aretino, a poet as well as a physician and scientific worker.
