Jacob Tappe
Jacob Tappe ( Latinized Jacobus Tappius ; born August 15, 1603 in Hildesheim , † October 10, 1680 in Helmstedt ) was a German medic .
Life
Jacob Tappe grew up in Wedtlenstedt near Braunschweig as the son of the father of the same name Jacob Tappe, pastor of Wedtlenstedt and Vechelde , and his wife Margarethe, née. Kersten, up. After his father was transferred, he attended schools in Schöningen and Halle . In 1621 he enrolled in the matriculation of the Academia Julia Carolina . There he first studied theology and finally medicine from 1623.
Tappe received his doctorate in medicine in 1632 and was appointed professor of medicine in the same year. He held this office until his death in 1680. Only in 1625/26 did he interrupt his 59-year membership with Julia Carolina during the temporary dissolution of the university due to the plague and turmoil of war.
When Anton Ulrich , son of Duke August II of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel and his later successor, arrived in Helmstedt for a public ceremony in December 1650 , Tappe accommodated him and his entourage in his house.
In the following year, Duke August appointed him his personal physician , “councilor and physician from home”. He kept his teaching activity in Helmstedt and was only obliged to give written advice on request, the execution of which was entrusted to the court medician of the Wolfenbüttel residence.
Noteworthy, even from today's point of view, is Tappe's writing "Oratio De Tabaco Ejusque Hodierno Abusu " from 1653, in which he resolutely speaks out against tobacco smoking .
