Theodor Caroli was the son of Eva Maria Simoniusin and Andreas Caroli, princely Württemberg councilor and abbot in St. Georgen. Theodor Caroli studied medicine in Tübingen. He was initially a town physician in Urach, Duchy of Württemberg. He was then appointed physician of the city and area of Löwenberg (in today: Leonberg). On 29 September 1688 Theodor Caroli was admitted to the Leopoldina as a member (Matriculation No. 163) with the nickname NEPTUNUS. He died at the age of 30 just two years after the recording.
