Francis Fabricius

Francis Fabricius (c. 1510–1572) was a physician and humanist from the Low Countries. Fabricius was born in Roermond around 1510 and studied the humanities in Cologne, where he excelled at Latin and Greek.[1] He went on to study medicine and in 1533 was established as a physician in Deventer. From 1545 to 1552 he was based in Aachen, where he studied the medicinal properties of the thermal springs. He died in 1572.[2]
