Everything about Jan Gruter totally explained
Jan Gruter (or
Gruytere; Latinized
Janus Gruterus) (
December 3,
1560 -
September 20,
1627), was a
critic and scholar of
the Netherlands.
Jan Gruter was Dutch on his father's side and
English on his mother's, and was born at
Antwerp. To avoid religious persecution his parents came to
England while he was a child, and for some years he studied at
Cambridge, after which he went to
Leiden, where he graduated with an
M.A.
In
1586, Gruter was appointed professor of history at the
University of Wittenberg, but, as he refused to subscribe the
formula concordiae, he lost his position. From 1589 to 1592, he taught at
Rostock, after which he went to
Heidelberg, where in 1602 he was appointed
librarian to the university.
Gruter's chief works were his
Inscriptiones antiquae totius orbis Romani (2 vols., Heidelberg, 1603), and
Lampas, sive fax artium liberalium (7 vols., Frankfort, 1602-1634).
