This date is supported by p.14 of
Genner, where we also learn that this Society
was formed by Matthias Saxtorph (1740-1800) in deliberate opposition to
Johan Clemens Tode (1736-1806).
Tode, Saxtorph and Henrich Callisen (1740-1828) had founded the
Societas Exercitatoria Medica in 1774 in Copenhagen.
But by the time the latter society had ceased in 1785, some bad feeling
had evidently grown up between Tode and Saxtorph.
Other information on the history of this Society is given on pp.14-17 of
Genner.
On p.15, Genner indicates that a journal was planned, and its title in English would have been Danish Medical Magazine. It is not clear that this ever happened. On p.17 of Genner, we learn that this new society collapsed at the same time that Tode retaliated by forming the Societas Philiatrica in 1787; the latter survived only until 1791. |
