Daniel Berckringer

Daniel Berckringer (born February 2, 1598 in Amberg ; † June 22, 1667 in Utrecht ) was a German philosopher and rhetorician who worked in the Netherlands.

Life

No information is available about Berckringer's parental home and first life paths. Apparently his ways had led him to Prague, from where he had gone to Zerbst in the uncertain times of the Thirty Years' War . He enrolled there alongside a large number of Bohemian people on October 13, 1624 at the Illustre grammar school . Here the Zerbster beer inspired him to write a poem of praise and true bitter beer in 1624 - the epic Encomiosticon cerevisiae Servestanae (hymn of Zerbster beer). He continued his education in 1627 at the University of Groningen , where he matriculated on June 13th. Here the Palatinate completed a degree in literature and acquired the academic degree of a master's degree in philosophy.

In 1633 he can also be found at the University of Leiden . Then he became the teacher of the children of King Frederick of Bohemia in The Hague . After he had already registered in 1638 during the founding of the University of Utrecht , he received a letter of recommendation from Queen Elizabeth of Bohemia in 1640 and then became professor of practical philosophy at the University of Utrecht. In 1648 he switched to the professorship of rhetoric and in 1648 he took part as rector for a year in the organizational tasks of the academy. He also appeared as a poet. However, his style has been criticized for using too many new words. Nonetheless, he was held in high regard by the students who attended his lectures with great frequency.

He was married to Maria van Drongen († December 29, 1648). Around 1650 he married Magdalena Reus van Gelder.
