===Sir Theodore de Mayerne 1573-1655

Biographical Note

Geneva-born physician, who became physician to James I and developed a very successful practice in London. His books passed to his niece after his death and were ultimately auctioned in London, 2.2.1713 (joint sale, with additions from his niece’s husband Sir John Colladon, and his son Sir Theodore, also physicians). Many of his manuscripts and papers are in the Royal College of Physicians, the British Library, and Cambridge University Library.
