Christian Bernhard Albinus

Christian Bernhard Albinus (also: Christian Bernard Albinus ; around 1699 in Berlin ; † April 5, 1752 in Utrecht ) was a German medic.

Life

Christian Bernhard was the son of the professor at the University of Frankfurt (Oder) Bernhard Friedrich Albinus and his wife Susanna Catharina, daughter of the Frankfurt professor of law Thomas Siegfried Ring (1644–1707). His parents' marriage had four sons and seven daughters, with whom he grew up. Two of his brothers, Frederik Bernard Albinus and Bernhard Siegfried Albinus , later also embarked on a career in medicine.

As a twelve-year-old he was enrolled on March 20, 1711 in the matriculations of the University of Leiden . Here he also seems to have completed his philosophical and medical studies in full.

On July 31, 1722 he acquired the academic degree of a master's degree in philosophical sciences with the defense of the subject de Igne and received his doctorate on the same day with the defense of the subject Nova tenuium hominis intestinorum descriptio as a doctor of medicine. On June 7, 1723 he was appointed by the curators of the University of Utrecht as an associate professor of anatomy, medicine and surgery at the academy there, which office he took up on September 20 of the same year with the speech De anatome, prodente errores detegenti in medicis .

On January 17, 1724 he became a full professor and in 1729 professor of practical medicine. After taking part in the university's organizational tasks as rector of the Alma Mater in 1728/29 and 1741/42, he resigned his professorship on October 30, 1747 and became a city councilor in Utrecht. His work Specimen anatomicum (Leiden 1722) and the rector's speech Over de Menschelijke Natuur en hare oorzaken (Utrecht 1741) are also known. In addition, he seems to have devoted himself more to the practical issues of his time.
