Description
Aelius Everardus Vorstius (1565-1624), Dutch physician. Vorstius was born at Roermond and was educated at Dordt and Leiden, where he encountered Vulcanius and Lispius. In 1586 he went to Heidelberg, then later Cologne and Padua to study medicine. He stayed in Italy for nine years before returning to Leiden and the chair of philosophy. He joined the medical faculty in 1599 and in 1617 took over the teaching of botany and the maintaining of the Leiden Botanical Garden. He was known as a man of great learning; beside being profficient in Greek and Latin he was fluent in Spanish, Italian, French and German, he studied history and archaeology and proposed how some of the lakes of Holland might be drained for use as farmland. This engraving comes from van Meurs' Illustris Academia Lugd-Batava, printed at Leiden in 1613.
