Jacob Kockert, portrait by Michael Conrad Hirt , 1644

Jacob Kockert , also Köckert (* 1596 in Lübeck ; † February 21, 1654 ibid) was a German Evangelical Lutheran theologian, classical philologist, educator and librarian.

Live and act

Little is known about Kockert's life. He was the son of the lawyer Augustin Kockert (1550-1620) and studied from 1616 at the University of Rostock . Kockert was appointed sub-rector of the Lübeck Katharineum in 1643 . The management of the city ​​library was also connected with this. With funds provided by the council, Kockert was able to represent an expansive acquisition policy and acquired the scholarly libraries of his predecessor, Rector Johann Kirchmann , and the universal scholar Joachim Morsius .

His Latin epic in 894 verses about Skanderbeg , which Kockert had initially written as a teaching work, was important for late humanist literary history .

Kockert had a son Johann (* 1640), who is shown in Hirt's portrait as a four-year-old and who later became a doctor in Lübeck.
