For Andreas Elias Buchner (1701–1769), a German physician and naturalist. He studied medicine at the universities of Halle and Leipzig, graduating in 1721. He did his housemanship (apprenticeship) in Erfurt, before becoming a physician in Rudolstadt. In 1729, he accepted an offer to become an associate professor and later full professor at Erfurt (1736–1745) and later at the University of Halle, serving as Vice-President on three occasions. For many years he was a member of Leopoldina, the German Academy of Natural Sciences and, in 1735 he became its president. He was the editor of Miscellanea physico-medico-mathematica (1731–1734) and author of An Easy and Very Practicable Method to Enable Deaf Persons to Hear (1759), printed in English (1770).
