De Officio Medici Poema, by Gerard-Nicolaus Heerkens, is a collection of Latin poetry and letters offering a glimpse into 18th-century medical thought and epistolary exchange. This work includes the titular poem on the duties of a physician, accompanied by two letters: one addressed to Jacobus Le Franc, President of the Court of Montis Albani, and another to Jacobus De Bunting, a German knight. Heerkens’s verses provide insight into the ideals and responsibilities associated with the medical profession during his time. The inclusion of personal correspondence adds a layer of historical context, revealing the intellectual and social networks of the period. This volume offers valuable material for students and scholars interested in the history of medicine, Latin poetry, and 18th-century European intellectual life.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
