Johann Kanold
Johann Kanold (born December 15, 1679 in Breslau ; † November 15, 1729 there) was a German medic.
Johann Kanold studied medicine in Halle and received his doctorate in 1704. Then he practiced as a doctor in Breslau. The plague epidemics that broke out in East Prussia in 1708/09 and in southern France from 1720 to 1722 prompted Kanold to have local doctors send him descriptions of the course of the disease in order to publish and comment on them. In doing so, he made an important contribution to the epidemiography of his time. In 1719 he was elected a member of the Leopoldina .
Kanold founded the magazine "Collection of nature and medicine, as well as related art and literature stories etc".
