¶ Published as part of the Opera omnia. This volume without the general title and the 'Vita auctoris'. The works were edited by his son Otho Heurnius. Johan van Heurne (1543-1601) studied in Paris, Padua and Pavia. In 1581 he was appointed professor of medicine in Leiden. William the Silent and prince Maurice were among his patients. "Heurnius is described as a mild-tempered man and an excellent teacher. He was very familiar with the classical languages and a great admirer of Hippocrates, less of Galen." (Lindeboom, DMB, 858)
