Abstract

Academia Naturae Curiosorum (Academy of the Curious as to Nature) was founded by four physicians in Schweinfurt in 1652 as a collective enterprise of medical doctors to explore the variety of nature’s secrets and mysteries. Its main task was to advance not only medicine, but also botany, pharmacy and natural sciences. From the very beginning among the members and the admirers of the Academy one could find also physicians from the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, mostly the Protestants from Royal Prussia. The paper presents the Polish translation of the Academy’s first status that was valid until 1670.
