Francis Fabricius (
c. 1510–1572) was a physician and
humanist from the
Low Countries. Fabricius was born in
Roermond around 1510 and studied the humanities in Cologne, where he excelled at Latin and Greek.[1] He went on to study medicine and in 1533 was established as a physician in
Deventer. From 1545 to 1552 he was based in
Aachen, where he studied the medicinal properties of the
thermal springs. He died in 1572.[2]
