Johannes Jacob Wecker (1528-1586) was a Swiss
physician and philosopher. He worked as a doctor from 1566 and wrote a number
of works about medicine, some of which were in both French and Latin. Doubtless
fleeing accusations of sorcery, Wecker moved to Basel after having published
Les Secrets de Wecker. For a number of years, he worked as a professor of logic
at the local university.
Wecker’s incredibly popular work of secrets
included subjects such as secrets of religion, the spirit and the body, the
animal world to the plant world, as well as secrets of precious metals,
astrology, and wars.

Johannes Jacob Wecker (Basel, 1528–1586) was a Swiss
physician and philosopher. He was a distant ancestor of the 19th century French
ophthalmologist Louis de Wecker.
He worked as a doctor from 1566 and wrote a number of works
about medicine, some of which were in both French and Latin. Doubtless fleeing
accusations of sorcery, Wecker moved to Basel after having published Les
Secrets de Wecker. For a number of years, he worked as a professor of logic at
the local university.[citation needed]
He published Antidotarum generale, a work about alchemy. His
work is known for the elaborate bibliography on chemistry-alchemy. He also
reported the first known case of diphallia.[1]
He married the poet and culinary writer Anna Weckerin. Two
years after the death of her husband, she arranged for the publication in Basel
of Wecker's Antidotarium Speciale, ex. opt. authorum … scriptis fideliter
congestum et amplius triente actum.
Johannes Jacob Wecker was buried in Vienna.
