from his book De Miraculis Occultis Naturae. The quotations illustrate
some aspects of sixteenth-century medical thought as well as throwing
light on the author's own ideas of medicine. His close relationship with
his native region is discussed and his role as a humanist emphasized. The
four portraits known to exist are reproduced and his tombstone at Zierikzee
is also illustrated.
The biography is followed by Appendix i, a translation from the Latin into
Dutch of the titles of the chapters of De Miraculis Occultis Naturae, Appen
dix li, a list of the books and papers in which life and work of Lemnius
are discussed, and Appendix III, a synoptical list of Lemnius' original publi
cations and their translations into German, French, English and Italian.
The biography of Willem Lemnius will appear in the next volume of the
Archief van het Koninklijk Zeeuwsch Genootschap der Wetenschappen.
