The purpose of this paper is to set the doctoral dissertation of Nehemiah Grew (1641–1712) in context of seventeenth-century iatrochymical studies of the nervous system. In doing so, we will delineate the influence of Sylvius and Francis Glisson (1597–1677) upon his work, as well as analyze the chymical and religious motivations behind Grew’s rejection of the theories of chymist and physician Johann Van Helmont (1579–1644). We will also briefly examine to what extent his Disputatio medico-physica established the foundation of his later research program in the chymistry of the body, and his cataloguing of materia medica in the Royal Society Repository.
