Note 9 — Chapter I · The Botanists of Germany and the Netherlands from Brunfels to Kaspar Bauhin[2].
Henry E. F. (Henry Edward Fowler) Garnsey translation
Leonhard Fuchs, born at Membdingen in Bavaria in 1501, was a student of the classics under Reuchlin in Ingolstadt in 1519, and became Doctor of Medicine in 1524. Owing to his conversion to Protestantism he led an unsettled life for some years, but was finally made Professor of Medicine in Tübingen in 1535, and died there in 1566.
