 John Caius Biography (1510-1573)
Caius (the Latin form of his name that he adopted, which has at least 10 alternative spellings) is best known for his 1552 book A Boke or Counseill against the Disease commonly called the Sweate, or Sweatyng Sicknesse, considered one of the first original descriptions of an epidemic.
Caius was a notable man of letters, translating and lecturing and publishing on subjects ranging from British dogs to philosophy, to the origins of universities.
Caius is considered a founder of Cambridge's Gonville and Caius College, eventhough the institution that was then named Gonville Hall was already more than 180 years old at the time of his study.

Caius, on the contrary, published an edict, accusing the consul for what he had done, and setting forth to the Confederates, that if they would continue upon the place, they might be assured of his assistance and protection.
Caius could not be persuaded to arm himself, but put on his gown, as if he had been going to the assembly of the people, only with this difference, that under it he had then a short dagger by his side.
Caius, as it is reported, was very forward to go and clear himself before the senate; but none of his friends consenting to it, Fulvius sent his son a second time to intercede for them, as before.

John Caius [Anglice Kees, Keys, etc.] (November 6, 1510 - July 29, 1573), English physician, and second founder of the present Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, was born at Norwich on the 6th of October 1510.

It is doubtful whether he was a Roman presbyter, to say nothing of the title of "bishop of the nations" given him by Photius from tradition.
From the quotations of Eusebius it appears that Caius rebuked the audacity of the Montanists in manufacturing new Scriptures, that he rejected millenarianism and with it the Apocalypse, and that he recognized only thirteen epistles of Paul.
From the statements of Caius here attacked it is clear that he spoke strongly against the contents of the Apocalypse (presumably in the "Dialogue"), and considered it as unworthy of credence and conflicting with the Holy Scriptures.

 England Under the Tudors: Sweating-Sickness ["English Sweat"]
The disease, unlike the plague, was not especially fatal to the poor, but rather, as Caius affirms, attacked the richer sort and those who were free livers according to the custom of England in those days.
Some attributed the disease to the English climate, its moisture and its fogs, or to the intemperate habits of the English people, and to the frightful want of cleanliness in their houses and surroundings which is noticed by Erasmus in a well-known passage, and about which Caius is equally explicit.
The only English medical account is that of John Caius, who wrote in English A Boke or Counseill Against the Disease commonly called the Sweate, or Sweating Sicknesse (London, 1552); and in Latin De ephemera britannica (Louvain, 1556; reprinted London, 1721).

 The impact
John Caius went through his copy of the 1538 Greek edition of the collected works of Galen, now at Eton College, carefully recording in its margins the misunderstandings and foolish suggestions of ‘Wesalius’ in his translations and in the Fabrica.
John Caius listed on the first page of his Galen all the passages where Galen could be shown to have looked at a human body: others pointed to Galen's expressed awareness that he was having to rely on animal dissections for most of his description of the body.
It was compounded, in their view, by his unwillingness to accept fully one of the central tenets of the new Greek-based medical humanism: that the primary cause of alleged errors by Galen lay in the poor textual basis of the early printed editions and translations.

At one time the physician to Edward VI, Queen Mary, and Queen Elizabeth I, Caius is also reputed to have been the doctor that Shakespeare based his eccentric Dr. Caius on in the Merry Wives of Windsor.
Caius is perhaps best known as a pioneer in medicine, but those of us interested in sheepdog history know him as the man who wrote the first dissertation on British dogs, in which there is a description of the shepherd's dog that we can recognize today.
We assume that by "course kind" Caius meant that they were not bred for looks but for their utility.

Facing Trinity Street, Caius College (pronounced "Keys"), or Gonville and Caius College to give it its full name, was founded in 1348 by Edmund Gonville, vicar general of the diocese of Ely, and enlarged after 1558 by Dr. John Caius, physician to Edward VI and Queen Mary.
Caius has three gates which together symbolize the student's academic "path".
From there the Gate of Virtue gives access to Caius Court (completed in 1567), from which, finally, the Gate of Honor (1575) opens onto the Senate House opposite where degrees are conferred.

 Gonville And Caius College, Cambridge
There are a similar caduceus and a cushion in Caius College, which, together with book of statutes, a salver and cushion, were first used by Dr. Caius on Lady Day, 1558, then presented to the college, and have ever since been in its possession.
Dr. Caius largely endowed this College, extended the site by purchasing adjacent land and tenements, and, in 1565, built the middle court, the design of which he is said to have brought back with him from Padua.
It is due to the fact that the inscription JOHANNES CAIUS POSVIT SAPIENTIAE., which Dr. Caius placed upon the foundation stone of the College, has been repeated on the western face of the gate.
