Founding of the Society
Year
Authority / Notes
1774
This date is supported by p.12 of Genner, where we also learn that this Society was founded by Johan Clemens Tode (1736-1806), Matthias Saxtorph (1740-1800), and Henrich Callisen (1740-1828).

Tode was also involved in the founding of several other Copenhagen societies: Kirurgiske Privatselskab (1771-1783), Københavnske Medicinske Selskab (1772-1872), and Societas Philiatrica (1787-1791). Saxtorph also founded another Copenhagen medical society: Societas Disputatoria Medica Hauniensis (1785-1787).

Other information on the history of this Society is given on pp.12-14 of Genner.

By the time this society had ceased in 1785, some bad feeling had evidently grown up between Tode and Saxtorph. This appears to have been the reason behind the founding by Saxtorph in 1785 of the Societas Disputatoria Medica Hauniensis, and the founding by Tode in 1787 of the Societas Philiatrica.

The Society does not appear to have published any journals.
