Samuel von Drauth

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Samuel von Drauth (* 1706 in Kronstadt / Transylvania (today Brașov); † September 16, 1739 ibid) was a Transylvanian doctor and member of the Leopoldina .

Samuel von Drauth received his doctorate in medicine on May 4, 1734 at the University of Halle . The dissertation was entitled: "Dissertatio inauguralis medica de animalibus humanorum corporum infestis hospitibus". Von Drauth was not granted a long lifespan because he was killed on September 16, 1739 by a collapsing vault.

On March 30, 1738, probably because of his doctoral thesis, the first parasitological work by a Transylvanian, he was accepted as a member ( matriculation number 481 ) of the "Leopoldina" with the academic surname Chrysippus II . His teacher, Johann Heinrich Schulze , recommended him there. Schulze sent von Drauth in early 1740, i.e. posthumously, letters and medical papers. When the then president of the "Leopoldina", Andreas Elias Büchner , heard of the tragic accident, he appointed Drauth's father-in-law in Kronstadt, Johann Albrich , as his successor on June 25, 1740 . This was nicknamed Chrysyppus III.
