Organology

He gave his version of organology a new name—phrenology—and took his show on the road, playing to even fuller houses than Gall had, not as a scientist, however, but as an entertainer. ❋ Gary Greenberg (2010)

In 1695, James Talbot, the scholar to whom modern organology owes so much, describes the tuning of the angélique. ❋ Lu (2009)

Josephine Yannacopoulou, 30, a PhD student of medieval organology, says she was "hijacked" by the instrument while researching her thesis on an ancient Mexican dance, which transferred to France in medieval times and became the formal "gigue", performed at court in the ballet style. ❋ Unknown (2007)

The chick is used for the primary relations of the systems to one another; and this is followed by the study of pig embryos, where each system is taken up separately and the organology and histogenesis of its parts are studied. ❋ Unknown (1916)

But where he set his stamp has been upon style; style in its widest sense, not merely on the grammar and mechanism of writing, but on what De Quincey described as its _organology_; style, that is to say, in its relation to ideas and feelings, its commerce with thought, and its reaction on what one may call the temper or conscience of the intellect. ❋ John Morley (1880)

Of course no intelligent person supposes the psychological maps and busts of the organs to be representations of the brain, or anything more than approximations to the true interior organology, which, however, do not lead to any great error, as adjacent portions of convolutions have very analogous functions. ❋ Unknown (1856)

If we thus go through the catalogue of psychic powers or qualities, we observe finally that the organs are grouped as follows; and this grouping should be impressed upon the memory, as it is easily learned, and serves as a basis for the further study of organology. ❋ Unknown (1856)

THE RECTIFICATION OF CEREBRAL SCIENCE, commenced in this number, will be continued in the November number, bringing the science up to its present condition, and showing how, after the rectification is completed, the science attains a grand simplicity, and, instead of being puzzled by cerebral organology, a very brief instruction will enable us to master the subject. ❋ Unknown (1856)

New Orleans in the old organology, giving him six lessons in exchange for his instructions in Spanish. ❋ Unknown (1856)

In that of Spurzheim the intermediate spaces were occupied and the entire exterior surface of the brain devoted to organology, yet still the basilar and interior surface of the brain remained unknown to Spurzheim, and the exterior regions which he supposed entirely occupied by his organs were but half occupied by them. ❋ Unknown (1856)

To show the facility with which organs may be located upon general principles, I present herewith the locations actually made by a small class of pupils when I first proposed to have them determine locations according to the general laws of organology. ❋ Unknown (1856)

These primal laws are easily comprehended, and their application to the brain removes all the perplexing complexity of organology. ❋ Unknown (1856)

The suggestion cannot be too often repeated that the nomenclature of cerebral organology can never adequately express the functions of the organs. ❋ Unknown (1856)

-- The large amount of detail of the organology of the brain which has been presented, will, no doubt, strike most readers with a sentiment of multitudinous confusion, and a doubt of the possibility of their ever applying so complex a science to the study of character. ❋ Unknown (1856)

Gall’s organology resembled in some ways the physiognomy already being practiced across Europe, but he was the first to claim that cranial features were expressive not of the immaterial soul, but of the flesh-and-blood brain, which in turn was the seat of the soul. ❋ Gary Greenberg (2010)

[I can't] [believe] she went into organology! I thought she had kids to [support]! ❋ Trouble Clef (2015)
