CAMERARIUS, JOACHIM, a learned physician, son of the preceding, was born at Nuremberg in 1534. After having finished his studies in Germany, he visited Italy, where he was greatly esteemed by the learned. At his return he was
invited to reside at the courts of several princes; but he was too much devoted to the study of chemistry and botany to accept their offers. He wrote a Hortus Medicus and several other works, and died in 1598.
