Jena 1742; professor of medicine and pharmacology at the University of Bayreuth/Erlangen 1743-1763; physician to Margrave Carl Alexander in Ansbach 1763; Dr. med. h.c. Erlangen 1783. **Abbreviated name**: *Schmidel* \[standard form in IPNI: *Schmidel*\] #### Herbarium and types [[Collection M|M]] (in herb. Schreber), further material in [[Collection G|G]] and [[Collection LINN|LINN]]. #### Note The correct orthography is probably Schmiedel (latinized Schmidelius); we have retained Schmidel because it seems to be generally current in botanical nomenclature. #### Bibliography and biography ADB 31: 700 (W.
