Life

Jacob Friedrich Isenflamm was born as the son of the imperial war and court councilor Johann Bernhard Isenflamm (* unknown; † 1741) and his wife Anna Maria, b. von Römers (* unknown; † 1733), born.

In 1734, at the age of eight, he went to grammar school in Preßburg , where he had lessons from Matthias Bel , with whom his father was friends. Due to the Russo-Austrian Turkish War and the outbreak of the plague in Preßburg, he was forced to return to Vienna in 1738. In 1740 it came after the death of Charles VI. in Vienna to public unrest, so that he went to Preßburg with his father, but his father died shortly afterwards, so that he had to interrupt his school education.

He left Austria in 1741 and went to Neustadt an der Aisch to see superintendent Johann Christian Lerche (1691–1768), who was also friends with his father. At the high school there, he finished his studies of the Studia humanitatis . After he had attended the inauguration of the University of Erlangen in 1743 , accepted as a student at the university in 1744 and began studying medicine, which he received on May 8, 1749 with his dissertation De congestionum mechanismo as Dr. med. finished.

As a companion of a nobleman, he first traveled to Swabia and then to Vienna in 1750. As a Protestant , he was forbidden to practice as a doctor there, but he did his medical services in the houses of several ambassadors and at the same time used the opportunity at the physical-mathematical museum of the Jesuits to give lectures by Gerard van Swieten , Anton de Haen , the anatomist Johann Lorenz Gasser , the botanist Robert de Laugier (1722–1793) and Father Joseph Franz and to visit the academic and Spanish hospitals . During this time Jacob Friedrich Isenflamm also met the Reichshofrat Baron Georg Christian von Knorr , who owned a large library and whose two sons, Christoph Christian von Knorr and Josef von Knorr , he taught mathematics and other sciences. When they later served as officers of the imperial army, he was called several times to treat illnesses and wounds, partly to Prague and partly to the field.

After the death of Baron von Knorr in 1762, he decided to travel to Holland in the spring and visited Utrecht and Leyden , from where he traveled via Leuven to Paris and stayed there for several months to visit the hospitals and collections there to visit; he then traveled back to Vienna via Strasbourg , where he also stayed for some time.

On the recommendation of Count von Ellrodt from Bayreuth , he was appointed third full professor of medicine and anatomy at the University of Erlangen from Bayreuth Margrave Friedrich Christian in 1763. There he started in March 1764 with his speech De mutuo scientiae medicae reliquarumque scientiarum vincule and was appointed second professor of medicine in the same year.

In 1784 and 1785 he refused appointments to the universities in Göttingen and Pavia . In 1791 he was appointed the first professor of medicine. Until his death in 1793 he held the office of Vice Rector at the University of Erlangen seven times .

Jacob Friedrich Isenflamm was married to Jacobine Christine (1747–1786), a daughter of the Erlangen theologian Johann Rudolf Kiesling (1706–1778). They had several children together. The following are known by name:
