DODOENS, REMBERT. [DODONAEUS, REMBERTUS] [DODONAEI, REMBERTI]
Mechelen June 29, 1517 – Leyden March 10, 1585
Rembert Dodoens was a Flemish physician and botanist, also known under his Latinized name Rembertus Dodonaeus.

He married Kathelijne De Bruyn(e) in 1539. He had a short stay in Basel (1542-1546). He turned down a chair at the University of Louvain in 1557. He equally turned down an offer to become court physician of emperor Philip II of Spain. He became the court physician of the Austrian emperor Rudolph II in Vienna (1575-1578). He then became professor in medicine at the University of Leiden in 1582.

Tysk kartograf. Från 1740 var han som svärson knuten till Matthaers Seutters (se denne) kartförlag. Efter Seutters död 1757 övertog han en del av dennes affär som han drev vidare i svärfaderns namn. Lotters kartor vann erkännande. Han gav ut egna arbeten i större utsträckning än Seutter, och allierade sig speciellt med nya engelska kartritare. Av kompletta atlaser kan nämnas 'Atlas minor' (ca. 1744) och 'Atlas novus' (ca. 1772).
