Evidence:
'In 1584 [Gabriel Harvey] had acquired [...] Hugkel's "Semeiotice", 1560, a medical text which bases its diagnoses on Galenic theory and the four humours [...] The inscription on the title-page [...] suggests Harvey's dissatisfaction with his progress in medicine. He writes in Latin that the volume has not yet been (adequately) read, for its contents are not yet at his fingertips.'
