title: [A physician and polyhistorian: on the 300th birthday of Johann Heinrich Schulze (1687-1744)].
abstract: The 300th anniversary of the birthday of Johann Heinrich Schulze gives rise to the remembrance of life and work of a polyhistorian who is riveted by particular attainments in medicine and several other special branches (orientalistics, graecistics, archaeology, numismatics). The medical historiography considers him one of the outstanding representatives of the 18th century, chemistry calls him the ancestor of photography. The University of Halle honours him as one of the most eminent scientists of its period of foundation.
