biography
Glasses was born as the son of the trader Caspar Gläser and his wife Rosina Keil. He attended the Maria-Magdalenen-Gymnasium in Breslau and in 1646 went to the University of Wittenberg to study law . He came to appreciate the poet August Buchner , among others , in whose circle he moved and was therefore called Amicus Buchnerianus. In 1649 he continued his studies at the University of Helmstedt . Here he found a place in Heinrich Julius Scheurl's house and soon drew attention to himself with his poetic talent.
This brought him a coronation as Poeta Laureate in 1650 , but he did not find a job at first and was therefore forced to find a livelihood as a court master . Stops on his travels were Altdorf, Tübingen, Regensburg, Speier and Basel. Returning to Helmstedt in 1656, he began to give private lectures, became an associate professor of law in Helmstedt in 1658 , received his doctorate in law in 1659 , took on a full professorship in 1661 and subsequently became professor of the Pandects . Numerous legal writings date from this late period, but his fame is based on the shepherd poems of the early years.
From his marriage in 1659 with Anna Susanna, the daughter of the professor of the Pandects Balthasar Rinck and the Magaretha Stuhe, as well as the adopted daughter of the Helmstedt professor of the institutions Heinrich Binnius , three daughters have emerged. He died of decay and was buried on September 27th in St. Stephen's Church.
