Transcription

Life

Bontius was born in Leiden, the youngest child of eight of the physician Gerard de Bondt / Gerardus Bontius (1536–1599), professor at Leiden University. Amongst his brothers were Reinier de Bondt / Regnerus Bontius (1576–1623), court physician to Maurice of Nassau, and Willem de Bondt / Wilhelmus Bontius, law professor at Leiden University.[2]

Jacobus graduated M.D. from Leiden in 1614. He sailed to the East Indies with Jan Pieterszoon Coen, for the Dutch East India Company.[3]

De medicina Indorum (1642)

Bontius' medical observations were published after his death. They include what is recognized as the first medical description of beriberi.[4] He reported on the dysentery epidemic in Java in 1628.[5] The second edition of 1658, put together by Willem Piso, was expanded and included material by Piso on the Americas.[6]
