Life
He succeeded his father Johannes Heurnius as professor of medicine at the University of Leiden; and took over anatomy teaching from Pieter Pauw from 1617. Alongside his practical anatomy teaching, he had the care of a very various collection of zoological and botanical specimens.[1] The aims of the collection included reconstruction of the life of the Israelites in Egypt, as in the Book of Exodus.[2]
He was also a historian of philosophy, stressing the period before the philosophers of the Ancient Greeks (“barbarian philosophy”).[3] He based his ideas on the Corpus Hermeticum.[4]
