Albrecht von Haller (1708-1777), the illustrious Swiss polymath and poet, began and finished his life in Berne. He studied in Tubingen, and then in Leyden under Boerhaave and Albinus. After practicing medicine in Berne, he occupied the chair of Anatomy, Botany, and Surgery at the University of Gottingen from 1736 to 1753. There he wrote prodigiously, established an anatomical theater and a botanic garden, and published "the first great treatise on physiology" (Osleriana). For his last twenty-five years he returned to Berne, where he produced his monumental Bibliotheca Medica and three philosophical romances. In this work Haller first affirmed that bones form from cartilaginous anlage and not from the periosteum. (Heirs to Hippocrates 887; Wellcome III, p. 199). A scarce primary source.
