Vopiscus Fortunatus Plempius was an eminent physician born in Amsterdam in December 1601. He studied at Ghent, Louvain, Leyden, and Padua, from where he received his doctorate in 1623. On his return to Holland he began his practice, but then, in 1633, he accepted the professorship at the Institute of Medicine, Louvain. At the same time he abjured the Protestant faith, became a Catholic and took a new degree as required by the university. The following year, however, he quit this chair for the professorship of pathology. He was soon afterwards nominated principal of the college of Breugel. He died at Louvain, in December 1671, aged seventy. N° de ref. del artículo PS.310
