Hieronymus David Gaubius

Hieronymus David Gaubius (24 February 1705 – 29 November 1780) was a German physician and chemist.

He studied medicine and sciences at the Universities of Harderwijk and Leiden, where he was a pupil of Hermann Boerhaave (1668–1738) and Bernhard Siegfried Albinus (1697–1770).

He earned his degree at Leiden in 1725 with a thesis on psychosomatic medicine called Dissertatio, qua idea generalis solidarum humani corporis partiur exhibitur.

After graduation he continued his training in Paris, and then practiced medicine in Amsterdam and Deventer.

[2] One of his best known works was Institutiones Pathologiae medicinalis, a 1758 textbook on systematic pathology that remained popular for many years.
