 Job Baster

Job Baster, sometimes Hiob Baster, (2 April 1711, in Zierikzee – 6 March 1775) was a Dutch physician and naturalist who devoted himself almost entirely to the study of medicine and natural history.He studied and took his degree of doctor of medicine at Leiden in 1731, and Albrecht von Haller has thought his thesis, "De Osteogenia", worthy of a place in his collection.
