Life

Andreas Bonn studied medicine in Amsterdam and from 1759 in Leiden and received his doctorate in 1763 with his excellent, later widely used inaugural dissertation De continuationibus membranarum . After studying in Paris for a year , he came back to Amsterdam and practiced medical practice there until 1771, when he became professor of anatomy and surgery at the Athenaeum Illustre , on which occasion he wrote the interesting work Oratio de simplicitate naturae , anatomicorum admiratione, chirurgicorum imitatione dignissima (Amsterdam 1772). In 1769 he married Anna Cramer, with whom he had ten children, of whom only one son and two daughters survived. At the Athenaeum Illustre he devoted himself entirely to teaching and proved himself to be an excellent lecturer. Together with De Bree, he was one of the founders of the Genootschap ter bevordering der Heelkunde in Amsterdam in 1791 and, as curator of the Monnikhoff Foundation for research into the best healing methods for all types of fractures, promoted surgical science through a series of cleverly asked prize questions. From 1808 he was a member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Sciences and an external member of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences . He died on September 2, 1817 at the age of 79 in Amsterdam.

Bonn wrote, among other things, Commentatio de humero luxato (Leiden 1782; German 1783), Descriptio thesauri ossium morbosorum Hoviani: adnexa est dissertatio de callo (Amsterdam 1783), Tabulae ossium morbosorum praecipue thesauri Hoviani (3 volumes, Amsterdam 1785–88), Images of the same pathological collection by Dr. Hovius and the Tabula anatomico-chirurgicae doctrinam herniarum illustrantes (edited by Gerard Sandifort , 1828), published after his death . He also wrote comments on the bladder sting and urinary retention , which work was translated from Dutch into German (Göttingen 1792). His anatomical-pathological museum was bought for the University of Leiden , as his eulogy Van der Breggen had already requested after his death in 1817.
