Franck, Johann

His note is dated in Frankfurt a. M. in September of 1725. In biographic lexicons we find several persons with the same name, and we cannot decide unanimously whether he is one of them. He can be identified either with (1) Franck (Frank), Johann (1649-1725), physician and natural scientist; or (2) Francke, Johann (1648-1728), physician in Ulm.
