The lectures Boerhaave gave in 1701 were called "Institutiones Medicae" and this book is based on those lectures. Index indicates the book is divided into five sections: physiology, pathology, semeiotica, hygiene, and therapeutics. Dedicated to Abraham Drolenvaux, a city alderman whose daughter Boerhaave married in 1710. A later Dutch translation appeared in 1741 in Amsterdam, titled "Geneeskundige onderwizjingen." G&M 581 (first ed. 1708). One of Boerhaave's best works, especially the section on physiology with important observations upon digestion.
