Johannes van Heeck, (Deventer 2 February 1579 – presumably Sant'Angelo Romano c.1620),[1] (also known as Johann Heck, Joannes Eck, Johannes Heckius, Johannes Eckius and Giovanni Ecchio)[note 1] was a Dutch physician, naturalist, alchemist and astrologer. Together with Prince Federico Cesi, Anastasio de Filiis and Francesco Stelluti, he was one of the four founding members of the Accademia dei Lincei,[3] the first learned society dedicated to understanding of the natural world through scientific enquiry.[4][5]
