Early life

Oliger Jacobaeus (1650-1701), also known as Holger Jacobi, was born in Aarhus, Denmark, in 1650. [1] He dedicated his early academic pursuits to the study of anatomy, attending both the University of Copenhagen and the University of Florence. Jacobaeus embarked on extensive travels across several European countries, including France, Germany, Italy, Hungary, England, and the Netherlands. His formal medical training culminated in receiving his Doctor of Medicine degree from Leiden University.

Jacobaeus was married twice. His first marriage, to Anne Marguerete Bartholin, lasted seventeen years and produced six sons. After his first wife's passing, he married Anne Tistorph [1] . He was the son-in-law of the prominent Danish anatomist, physician, and theologian Thomas Bartholin, and was also a leading figure within Bartholin's organization of comparative anatomists. Jacobaeus later became a professor of medicine, philosophy, history, and geography at the University of Copenhagen. He died in 1701. [2] [3]
