Adolph Bogislav Grulich

Adolph Bogislav Grulich (synonym: Corbinianus Garrey d. WW ; also: Adolf Bogislaw Grulich ; born April 16, 1729 in Altmittweida ; † July 29, 1798 in Neustadt an der Orla ) was a German Lutheran theologian.

Life

Adolph Bogislav Grulich was the son of the theologian Martin Grulich and his wife Christiane Concordia (née Stoll). He attended grammar school in Freiberg and enrolled at Leipzig University in 1743 . On April 30, 1744 he moved to the University of Wittenberg to study theology. But first he devoted himself to the Artes Liberales . He also attended lectures with Johann Heinrich Martius in poetry, with Martin Hassen in ethics, with Johann Daniel Ritter in history, with Karl Gottlob Sperbach in philosophy, with Ernst Christian Schröder in didactic logic and with Johann Wilhelm von Berger in rhetoric.

Prepared in this way, he obtained the academic degree of Master of Philosophy on October 17, 1750 . In order to be able to get a suitable entry into a spiritual office after his theological studies, he became a substitute for the pastor in Linthe in 1756 and pastor in Elsnig in the same year . In 1765 he moved to Rädigke in the same position . In 1780 he was appointed superintendent in Frauenprießnitz and in 1783 in the same office in Neustadt an der Orla , where he stayed until the end of his life.

Grulich turned to Lutheran orthodoxy especially in his writings . The work, Attempt at a Pragmatic History of Sleep , published under a pseudonym, found extensive literary consideration.

Grulich married on September 14, 1756 in Elsnig Rahel Concordia (* April 10, 1739 - August 1, 1808), daughter of the local pastor Wolfgang Schmidt and his wife Rahel Concordia (née Sulzberger). Of the five children, the son Friedrich Joseph Grulich (1766–1839) also embarked on a spiritual career and became known as archdeacon in Torgau with his writings.
