[The students of medicine of the University of Marburg in the years 1600 to 1620: prosopographic studies about years of a till now unnoticed flower of its faculty of medicine].
The paper presents biographical data of a total of 84 medical students at the University of Marburg during the first two decades of the 17th century. Of these 73 studied between 1608 and 1620, however, when the faculty had a till now unnoticed flowering caused by a new beginning which centred on modern chymiatric medicine and made the Marburg University attractive especially for non-Hessian and foreign students of medicine. Apart from matricles and doctorates, the analysis focuses on sources of information relevant to the length of stay at the Marburg faculty. According to that the highest number of medical students in a single year, for instance, amounted to 27 and 28 in 1615 and 1616 respectively.
