Christian Gottlieb Jöcher (born July 20, 1694 in Leipzig ; † May 10, 1758 ibid) was a German scholar, librarian and lexicographer .

Life

Christian Gottlieb Jöcher was the son of the businessman Johann Christoph Jöcher and his wife Margaretha, the daughter of the physician Michael Ettmüller . He grew up with his grandfather, the Leipzig city judge Leonard Baudiß, who provided him with two excellent private teachers, Magister Börner and Magister Paul Abraham König, who directed his youthful training. They aroused a certain interest in history, geography and genealogy in him from an early age. In 1708 he continued his education at the grammar school in Gera and two years later at the grammar school in Zittau , which had gained an excellent reputation in Germany through Christian Weise .

In 1712 he began studying medical science at the University of Leipzig . The contact with Gottfried Olearius ensured that he devoted himself more to the philosophical sciences during his training. He frequented the philosophical lectures with Hardt, Gottfried Polycarp Müller, Rüdinger and August Friedrich Müller . A particular fondness for the oriental languages ​​emerged, which he developed further with Heinrich Benedikt Stark (1672–1727) and Johann Georg Abicht . In 1712 he had already obtained the academic degree of a bachelor's degree and in 1714 the academic degree of a master's degree in philosophy.

He then began to give lectures at the Leipzig University of Applied Sciences, established himself as an assessor at the Faculty of Philosophy from 1715 and also acquired a bachelor's degree in theological sciences in 1716. In 1730 he became a full professor at the philosophical faculty and in 1732 took over the professorship of history at the Leipzig University. After he had obtained his doctorate in theology in 1735, he was entrusted with the supervision of the librarian at the Leipzig University Library from 1742 , where he initiated the complete alphabetical catalog.

His writings are partly philosophical, partly collective works. His best-known work is the Allgemeine Gelehrten-Lexicon (Leipzig 1750/51, 4 volumes). It is a continuation and expansion of the Compendios Scholar Lexicon by Johann Burckhardt Mencke which he published in the 2nd and 3rd edition (1725 and 1733). This work has been expanded by Johann Gottlob Wilhelm Dunkel (1755–60) and Johann Christoph Adelung (1784–87). Where Heinrich Wilhelm Rotermund (Bremen 1810-22, 6 volumes) continued this work. In addition, from 1720 Jöcher was editor of the German Acta Eruditorum . An avid Wolffian , he not only mastered the field of theoretical philosophy, but was also an excellent speaker as a lecturer.
