His works served as medical encyclopedias and reached a wide readership due to the fact that they were also written in Dutch. .Born at Dordrecht, Van Beverwijck studied philosophy and medicine at Leiden (1611), then made a European tour, which he wrapped up with a graduation at Padua (1616). On returning to Dordrecht, he became town physician (in charge of the poor) and held several administrative offices. Van Beverwijck's work is mainly important for its contribution to popular medicine. His Schat der gesontheyt (Treasure of Health) and Schat der ongesontheyt (Treasure of Disease) are self-help manuals, for which he secured the collaboration of the poet Jacob Cats (1577-1660), who put Van Beverwijck's maxims into short rhymes. Other books take the form of an epistolary exchange, for example, on the question whether the end of life is fixed beforehand (so there is no point in fighting disease).
