Friedrich Boerner

Friedrich Börner , latinized Fridericus Boerner [us] , (born June 17, 1723 in Leipzig ; † June 30, 1761 ibid) was a German physician .

Life

He was born the son of Christian Friedrich Börner and, according to his father's wishes, was to begin a theological course. Therefore, he went to the University of Wittenberg in 1744. However, he later turned to the natural sciences and in particular to medicine. In 1748 he received his doctorate in medicine in Helmstedt , worked as a general practitioner in Wolfenbüttel from 1748 and became an associate professor at the Wittenberg University in 1754. Here, on October 16, 1756, he acquired the highest philosophical degree of a Magister and on April 30, 1759 the permission to read as a Magister. After the outbreak of the Seven Years' War he went back to Leipzig, where he died.

Boerner made a name for himself primarily because of his literary historical and biographical writings in the field of medicine. In his doctoral dissertation he made his debut with a historical thesis on gymnastics , at the same time he began to publish bibliographies of doctors and naturalists. He has also written numerous historical articles on older and rare scientific works. Biographies of Alessandro Benedetti , Girolamo Mercuriale (1530–1606), Martin Pollich and others can also be found in his remarks , which he later summarized in a book of his own. On January 26, 1750, Friedrich Börner was accepted into the Leopoldina as a member ( matriculation no. 562 ) with the academic surname Cineas II . On September 9, 1752 Boerner was accepted into the German Society in Göttingen and on September 16, 1752 he left the Göttingen University Library a chess treatise, which became important under the name of Göttingen Manuscript .
