Observationes Medicae is a book by Nicolaes Tulp. Tulp is primarily famous today for his central role in the group portrait by Rembrandt of the Amsterdam Guild of Surgeons, which commemorates his appointment as praelector in Though already well known at the time his book was written, Professor Tulp enjoyed international fame after publishing this book, and in a second edition was printed, highly unusual at that time.

His book comprises cases from his practise, kept in a diary from his early career onwards. His book was illustrated with plates, and it is not clear who drew these or engraved them. According to various sources, he drew many of these himself. His birth name was Claes Pietersz. He adopted the name Tulp when he had a Tulip shaped sign placed outside his door when he set up shop in Amsterdam.

Many of his early patients could not read or write. He soon no longer needed to advertise his services, however, and his many duties as Praelector, and later, mayor of the city of Amsterdam , prevented him from spending so much time on his practise. He published the book 5 years after the Amsterdam Pharmacopoeia was completed, which was his own personal initiative, and that helped to set intercity medical standards in the region known as the United Provinces.

Tulp had a reputation for a moral upstanding character, and Joost van den Vondel wrote poetry extolling his virtue.

He later also wrote a poem in honor of the second edition of this book. Tulp's book has various accounts of unusual illnesses and primarily growths or carcinomas , but also has accounts of creatures brought back from Dutch East India Company ships. His drawing of a chimpanzee is considered the first of its kind. However, the accompanying text claims the animal came from Angola.

This drawing was copied many times and formed the basis for many theories on the origin of man.
