Jacobus Sylvius

Jacobus Sylvius or Jacques Dubois (* 1478 in Lœuilly near Amiens , † January 14, 1555 in Paris ) was a French physician and anatomist.

Jacques Dubois, the son of a weaver, had studied philology for a long time . He was considered to be an excellent expert on the Latin and Greek languages ​​and also had experience in Hebrew. He wrote a French grammar.

Then he studied medicine in Paris and held anatomical lectures there from 1529 as a baccalaureus and from 1531 as a doctor. His student Andreas Vesalius was disappointed. Jacques Dubois made discoveries in anatomy, was one of the first to describe the venous valves, and invented injection.

Under his influence, the Leiden Medical School accepted William Harvey's new teaching on blood circulation . At the suggestion of Sylvius, clinical instruction was also introduced in Leiden.

A fissure penetrating each half of the human cerebrum from the base is named after him, the Sylvius pit ( Fossa Sylvii ) and the Sylvian aqueduct .
