Isbrand van Diemerbroeck (also: Ysbrand, IJsbrand van Diemerboeck ; born December 13, 1609 in Montfoort , † November 17, 1674 in Utrecht ) was a Dutch medic .

Life

The son of the mayor Gisbert van Diemerbroeck and his wife Magdalena Sasse had attended the Latin school in Utrecht and began studying at the University of Leiden in 1627. Here he attended the lectures of Daniel Heinsius (1580–1655) in literature, of Caspar van Baerle (1584–1648) in philosophy and of Otto Heurnius (1577–1652) in medicine. He continued his studies in France, where he received his doctorate in philosophy and medicine from Angers University . He returned to his homeland and settled as a doctor in Nijmegen , where the plague occurred in 1635 and killed 6,000 people by 1637. During this time, Diemerbrock devoted himself to the welfare of his fellow human beings and in 1644 published a book about experiences with the terrible plague. As early as 1636 he had become the second city doctor of Nijmegen with a salary of 150 guilders.

In 1649 he was appointed associate professor of medicine at the University of Utrecht and on April 7, 1651 he was appointed full professor of anatomy and medicine. Although he was a member of the Remonstrant Brotherhood , the government did not object to him. His lectures attracted a large number of students to the University of Utrecht. His main work is Anatome corporis humani. . . Diemerbroeck also took part in the organizational tasks of the Utrecht University and was rector of his alma mater in 1655/56 and 1668/69 .

His son Tiemann van Diemerbroeck, who later became a pharmacist in Utrecht, emerged from his marriage to Elisabeth van Gessel on October 17, 1642.
