from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Adam Andreas von Molnár (born December 23, 1713 in Jákfalva , † November 1780 in Kronstadt ) was a Transylvanian doctor and member of the " Leopoldina ".

Adam Molnár was born in Hungary. He studied medicine in Halle, the Netherlands, in Göttingen and then in Leipzig. In 1747 he moved back to Halle, where he received his doctorate in medicine under the chairmanship of Andreas Elias Büchner , then President of the "Leopoldina". In the same year he came to Cluj-Napoca , where he received the diploma of membership ( matriculation number 549 ) signed by Professor Büchner on December 4th in the "Leopoldina". His nickname in the "Leopoldina" was MARCELLUS II. In 1747, Molnár moved his place of work to Bucharest. Here he became the court doctor of Prince Mavrocordat and at the same time Protomedicus of Wallachia. During the Russo-Turkish war, von Molnár fled to Kronstadt. He died here in November 1780. His contributions to the “Leopoldina” were lost while fleeing to Transylvania.
