Part of the some 30-book series published from the 1580's to the early 1600's by "the Dutch Hippocrates". Pieter van Foreest (1522-1597), the renowned Dutch physician of Alkmaar, studied on Louvain and later in Padua. At his "five-year sojourn in Italy as a stundent had coincided with that of Vesalius to whom he had attached himself for several years at Padua." Cushing: VIII. D.I. In Bologna he received his doctor 's degree in 1543. Forrest had wide interest, among others botany, and he brought back from Italy to Holland a large number of medicinal plants. At the founding of the University of Leyden, he was offered the chair of medicine but declined. After practicing for 40 years in Delft, he returned to Alkmaar where he died. Forestus was an outstanding author of several books on regional diseases. He collected a series of cases which shows him to have been a greet clinician physician and he gives a clear insight into medical practice at the end of the sixteenth century. His international reputation was based on his Observationes, a large collection of annotated medical case histories. In his therapeutic approach to patients, Van Foreest showed himself to be a typical 'Hippocratic' physician. "The citizens of Delft fell victim to the plague shortly after the epidemic broke out in Voorburg in June 1557. Van Foreest considered that disease was transmitted by farmers who travelled from town to sell their produce. In contrast, the populace ascribed the plague to various natural phenomena and prophetic signs. A comet appeared in March 1557; and its path through the zodiac and the constellations was seen by astrologers as a sign heralding drought, famine, and pestilence. The tendency among the children of Delft to play 'funerals' was also considered prophetic, and many saw this child's play with foreboding. II is not clear what Van Foreest's opinion of this was. On the one hand he had sent out anofficial letter, marked with the emperor's seal, to the populace in which he informed them of his fears for the coming disasters, and on the other he emphasized the role of the food shortage and dirty water in the canals in Delft in his Observationes. Delft was notorious for its foulsmelling canals as a result of low water levels during the dry and hot summer months Five thousand people died in Delft between May 1557 and November 1558, although Van Foreest placed the number at 6,500. These numbers are all the more impressive when one considers that the plague killed about a fifth of the Delft population, (The population of Delft before the epidemic has been estimated at 25,000). Chaos reigned during the peak of the epidemic, which affected both poor and rich, young and old. The daily life of the town was disrupted .
