[General practice, theory and science of self-knowledge by the urban physician Christoph Jacob Trew (1695-1769)].
In addition to universities and courts, large towns were regarded as attractive locations for a successful career by physicians in the 18th century. This study reveals the spectrum of practical and scientific activities of a "physicus" like Christoph Jacob Trew (1695-1769) who lived in the German town of Nuremberg. Emphasis is put on his attitude towards the meaning of medical practice, theory, and science in his work. Letters and drafts which form the basis of this study prove their usefulness as sources for medico-historical studies on the professional world of practicing physicians in the 18th century.
