Konrad von Eichstätt

Konrad von Eichstätt (* around 1280 ; † August 18, 1342 in Eichstätt ) was a German doctor and medical writer .

Konrad came from a bourgeois family in Eichstatt. He obtained his medical master's degree around 1300. He ran a practice in Eichstätt. In 1325 and 1326 he treated Adalbert von Schmidmühlen , the abbot of Sankt Emmeram . In various documents from Eichstätt, he has a large property, good fief income , his own house in Eichstätt, several farms in the area, a brewery and a bathing room .

Konrad wrote a book that consists of the treatises Sanitatis conservator and De qualitatibus ciborum . In it he dealt with healthy living. The book is based on a Latin translation of a compendium by the Arab doctors Avicenna , Rhazes and Averroes . These are in the Hippocratic Galenic tradition. Two versions of this book have survived, the older of which is more extensive. Several regimina sanitatis are based on his writings. The doctor Paracelus relied on Konrad von Eichstätt for his diagnostic considerations.

Konrad married Katherin before 1327 and Hailwig before 1336, with whom he had a daughter.
