Johann Bernhard Fischer

Johann Bernhard Fischer (1685, Lübeck – 1772, Hinterbergen near Riga) was a doctor of German origin in Imperial Russian service as medical adviser to the Empress Anna.[1]

Biography

Fischer was brought up in Riga (now Latvia). After studying in Germany and the Netherlands and travelling in western Europe he returned to Riga as a physician. For eight years (1734–42) he was medical adviser to the Empress Anna.[2]

In 1742 Fischer retired from state service and settled in his estate Hinterbergen near Riga. Here he wrote an account of his life Der In Beruhigung und Friede wohnende Montan (1745), in which title the capitals I, B, and F represent his initials. He also wrote verse idylls Empfindungen des Frühlings (1750), Hirtenlieder und Gedichte (1753), Daphnis an Silen (1754).[3]

gollark: I have a 1.1KB blob of CSS styling everything and an optional user theming thing which just injects CSS.
gollark: It's small enough to practically inline so I get a performance boost.
gollark: I don't like the gibsonoformic "essentially just plain HTML" thing entirely, so I wrote mine to have a few nice things like minor changes to lists and indentation, a 40em or something limit to make it narrower on desktop for easier reading, that sort of thing.
gollark: I personally handwrite all my CSS and my stuff looks fine. If I subscribed to one of the trendy "design languages" this could be less practical.
gollark: Amazing.
