[Bernhard Siegfried Albinus (1697-1770) — German anatomist and teacher, Professor, honorary member of the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences (1753), member of the Royal society of London (1764).
Bernhard Siegfried Albinus was born on 24 February 1697 in Frankfurt am Oder, where his father, Bernhard Friedrich Albinus (German: Bernhard Friedrich Albinus), actually Weiss (1653-1721), was later (from 1702) Professor of medicine at the University of Leiden.
The young Albinus studied medicine in Leiden and in Paris, lectured at the University of Leiden in 1719, and after his father's death took his place in the Department of medicine and anatomy.
Albinus soon became one of the most famous professors of this University and enjoyed almost the same authority in medicine as Hermann Burgave, before whom he practically worshipped.
Of his works, the most outstanding is "Tabulae sceleti et musculorum corporis humani" (Leiden, 1747) with engravings executed on copper by Jan Wandelaar (Gol. Jan Wandelaar; 1690-1759).
Bernard Siegfried Albinus died on 9 September 1770 in Leiden.
After the death of B. Z. Albinus, his brother, Friedrich-Bernhard (20 June 1715, Leiden-23 may 1773) headed the Department of medicine at the University; he also enjoyed fame as an anatomist and physiologist.]
