Philipp Jakob Sachs[1] (26 August 1627 – 7 January 1672) was a German physician, naturalist, and editor of Ephemerides Academiae naturae curiosorum, the first ever learned journal in the field of medicine and natural history. Born in Wrocław, he later became a city physician (Stadtphysicus) there, and was one of the founders of the Academia Naturae Curiosorum, today the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina.[2]

His works include the 1665 Gammarologia, on crabs.
