In 1865 the Serbian physician Joachim Medovitsh (1815-1893) published the first medical textbook "Forensic medicine for lawyers" in Serbia. It appeared more than fifty years before foundation of the School of Medicine in Serbia. The book appeared forty years before promoting the High School to University. Joachim Medovitsh was of Polish origin but he lived and worked in Serbia. He was one of the most prominent physicians in Serbia and the first president of the Serbian Medical Society. Joachim Medovitsh, M. D. wrote his book after the model of the textbook of Karl Bergman (1814-1865). German anatomist and physiologist from Göttingen. Forensic medicine of Medovitsh was printed by lithographic technique. The second edition was edited next year. In his book Medovitsh cited often Johann Casper (1796-1864) one of who published the most used textbook in the second half of the 19th century. Joachim Medovitsh, M. D. contributed very much to the beginnings of High School medical teaching in Belgrade being in the course of events and achievements of European medicine.
