Born in Reinheim, in the Grand Duchy of Hesse, he studied medicine at the University of Heidelberg, and then worked for a time as a tutor at the University of Freiberg. Scriba came to Japan in [[1881]], where he taught and practiced medicine at the Tokyo School of Medicine (later, the [[Tokyo Imperial University]] Medical School) for roughly twenty years. The innovations he introduced into Japan included sterilized and bloodless surgery, as well as techniques for using tourniquets and ether.

Scriba was hired or dispatched by the Imperial government to attend to foreign dignitaries on several occasions, including treating the injuries of the Russian prince [[Nicholas Alexandrovich]] who survived an assassination attempt in [[Otsu|Ôtsu]] in [[1891]], and Chinese diplomat [[Li Hongzhang]], who was shot during negotiations for the [[Treaty of Shimonoseki]] in [[1895]].
Scriba's appointment at the University ended in [[1901]], and he began working at St. Luke's Hospital in Tokyo. However, just four years later, in [[1905]], he died in [[Kamakura]]. He is buried in Tokyo's [[Aoyama Cemetery]].
