Johann Heinrich Meibom
Johann Heinrich Meibom (born August 27, 1590 in Helmstedt ; † May 16, 1655 in Lübeck ) was a German doctor and professor of medicine at the University of Helmstedt ; He practiced for many years as the first city doctor in Lübeck and wrote numerous medical and historical-philological works.
Life
Johann Heinrich Meibom's father was the German historian and poet Heinrich Meibom the Elder from the old Lower Saxon family Meibom .
Meibom studied medicine in Helmstedt, Wittenberg and Leipzig. He had also enrolled in Padua on May 20, 1617 . 1619 he was in Basel for MD PhD . In 1620 he received a professorship at the University of Helmstedt, left Helmstedt in 1625 because of the Thirty Years War and settled as a doctor in Lübeck . In 1629 he gave up his professorship and became the first city doctor as well as personal doctor of the Prince-Bishop of Lübeck Johann X. , where he practiced as a medicus until his death in 1655 . His colleague from Mecklenburg, Paul Neucrantz, was appointed by the council as his successor as Stadtmedicus .
Act
Meibom wrote numerous works, including a medical appraisal of the flagellation under the title De Flagrorum usu in re Veneria, & lumborum renumque officio, Epistola (Leiden 1639; German title translation: "Epistle about the usefulness of the scourge in love play"), which he dedicated to the prince-bishop's council Christian Cassius (1609–1676) and to whom he added a supplement that deals exclusively with the English flagellant literature. This typeface developed into a " bestseller "; it was translated into several languages and reissued into the 19th century.
His son Heinrich Meibom also became an important physician.
There is a portrait of Johann Heinrich Meibom in the St. Anne's Museum of Art and Cultural History in Lübeck .
