- Johan van Beverwijck or Johannes Beverovicius; born 17 November, 1594 in Dordrecht; died 19 January 1647 in Dordrecht ; was a Dutch physician and writer. Van Beverwijck took an interest in new developments and contributed to medical science with his own experiments. ; Around 1618, he settled in his hometown of Dordrecht. ; In 1625, he became medical practitioner of the town of Dordrecht, in which position he was mainly concerned with fighting the plague. He was friends with prominent fellow townsmen such as Jacob de Witt and Jacob Cats. ; His "Schat der gesontheyt" (1636) and "Schat der ongesontheyt" (1642) were the most widely read books at the time, alongside the Bible and the works of Cats. ... He also left his mark on the Dutch language by inventing words such as 'alvleesklier' [pancreas], 'endeldarm' [rectum], 'sleutelbeen' [clavicle] and 'slokdarm' [esophagus].
