Herman Boerhaave the man and his work

Communis Europae Praeceptor ('The teacher of the whole of Europe') - that was the brief but very descriptive phrase applied to Herman Boerhaave by Albrecht von Haller, one of the great fertilizing influences in eighteenth-century physiology. Was this phrase justified, and what manner of man was he to whom it was applied? Herman Boerhaave, the son of a minister in the Dutch Reformed Church, was born in a village near Leyden on 31 December 1668. After an unusual course of studies in philosophy, theology, and medicine at the University of Leyden, he graduated in 1693 as a doctor of medicine at the University of Harderwijk, now long defunct. At the age of 32 years Boerhaave became reader in medicine in the University of Leyden, and during this period of eight years he wrote two books, The Institutes of Medicine and The Aphorisms concerning the knowledge and cure of diseases, which in many Latin editions and in translations into several languages, were used in universities throughout the world continuously until fifty years after his death. In 1709 Boerhaave was appointed professor of medicine and botany in the University of Leyden. At that time his medical teaching was mainly theoretical. He now devoted much time to the study of botany, and he greatly improved the contents of the celebrated Physic Garden of the University of Leyden. Famous botanists - including Linnaeus - profited greatly by his teaching. In 1714 Boerhaave was entrusted with clinical teaching in the St Caecilia Hospital, and in the twelve beds allocated to him for this purpose he initiated the modern method of bedside teaching. His classes were attended by large numbers (100 or more) students, and many famous physicians and teachers of medicine were trained by him. In the first four decades of the eighteenth century to have been trained and 'promoted' as doctor of medicine by Boerhaave himself was a cachet which gave its owner the entry to any medical appointment. Boerhaave had studied chemistry and carried out chemical experiments for many years. In 1718 he was also appointed to the chair of chemistry at Leyden, and for eleven years he performed meticulously and brilliantly the duties of three separate chairs. During this period he wrote - as a reply to unauthorized editions of students' notes of his chemical lectures - his Elementa Chemiae, which long remained a basic textbook of that subject. Boerhaave's most famous pupil and assistant, Gerard van Swieten, founded the Old Vienna School, which included among its famous professors Leopold Auenbrugger, the inventor of percussion as a method of clinical diagnosis. Albrecht von Haller, his pupil and devoted admirer, founded the medical faculty at the University of Göttingen. The life and work of Herman Boerhaave is of special interest to British readers because of his influence on medical education in this country. John Monro (1670-1740), the real conceiver of the Edinburgh Medical School, had been a student at Leyden while Boerhaave himself was a student there. Monro was determined to see established in the University of Edinburgh a medical school on the Leyden model. The first organized medical school in the United States was the School of Medicine of the University of Pennsylvania at Philadelphia. Its founder and all the physicians who were prominent in its early years had been trained at Edinburgh. So Boerhaave's influence was, after his death, potent at secondhand in establishing medical education in the New World. In the early years following Boerhaave's death in 1738 several short accounts of his life were published, but all of them - including that by Dr Samuel Johnson - were largely based on the memorial oration delivered in 1738 by Boerhaave's friend Albert Schultens. In over two centuries no one has ever written a comprehensive and scholarly account of Boerhaave's life and work. The sources for such a study are nearly all in Latin or in Dutch. This exacting task was in 1968 performed by Professor G.A. Lindeboom. His biography on Herman Boerhaave, the Man and his Work, now appears in its second edition, to which are added an updated list of publications related to Boerhaave, and a revised edition of Lindeboom's Bibliographia Boerhaaviana (1959).
