EDITORS COMMENTS
Adolphus Occo, born in Augsburg, Germany, in 1524, was a renowned physician, humanist, and numismatist, continuing a distinguished lineage of men sharing the same name. The Occo family, known for their intellectual pursuits and contributions to various fields, left an indelible mark on the history of the Renaissance era. Adolphus Occo's expertise in medicine was evident in his dedication to the practice and teaching of medicine. He was a respected physician in Augsburg, providing care to the city's residents and gaining a reputation for his knowledge and skill. His humanist pursuits extended beyond medicine, as he was an avid scholar and lover of literature. He translated works from Greek and Latin into German, making these valuable texts accessible to a wider audience. However, Adolphus Occo is perhaps best known for his passion for numismatics, the study of coins and currency. He amassed an impressive collection of coins, which he meticulously cataloged and studied. His work in numismatics was groundbreaking, as he applied humanist principles to the field, approaching coins as historical artifacts rather than mere currency. Adolphus Occo's legacy continued beyond his death in 1606. His contributions to medicine, humanism, and numismatics influenced generations of scholars and thinkers. His family's legacy lived on, with subsequent Adolphus Occos continuing the tradition of intellectual pursuits and scholarly achievements. This photograph captures the essence of Adolphus Occo, a man of great intellect and curiosity, whose work continues to inspire and intrigue scholars and collectors alike.
