SWAMMERDAM, JAN (1637-168o)

This article appears in Volume V26, Page 178 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SUS-TAV
SWAMMERDAM, JAN (1637-168o) , Dutch naturalist, was born on the 12th of February 1637 at
Amsterdam
 , the son of an apothecary and naturalist. He was destined for the
Church
 ; but he preferred the profession of
medicine
 , taking his
doctor
 's degree at Leiden in 1667. Having necessarily to
interest
  himself in human anatomy, he.devoted much attention to the preservation and better demonstration of the various structures, and he devised the method of studying the circulatory
system
  by means of injections. He also spent much time in the study of insects, investigating the subject of their metamorphosis, and in this and other ways laying the beginnings of their natural classification, while his researches on the anatomy of mayflies and bees were also of
great
  importance. His devotion to science led to his neglect of practice; his father, resenting this, stopped all supplies and thus Swammerdam experienced a period of considerable privation, which had the most unfortunate con-sequences to his
health
 , both bodily and mental. In 1675 his father died, leaving him an adequate fortune, but the mischief was irreparable, He became a hypochondriac and mystic, joined the followers of Antoinette
Bourignon
 , and died at
Amsterdam
  on the 15th of February 1680.
His Allgemeene 'Verhandeling van bloedeloase diertjens appeared at
Utrecht
  in 1669, and his Biblia naturae, sive Historic insectorum in certas classes redacta was published after his death by H. Boerhaeve in 1737-1738. He was also the author of Miraculum naturae, ;ea Uteri muliebris fabrica (Leiden, 1672).
