Johann Andreas Danz

Johann Andreas Danz also: Dantz , (born February 1, 1654 in Sundhausen , † December 20, 1727 in Jena ) was a Lutheran theologian and orientalist.

Life

Johann Andreas was the son of the freeman of the Sundhausen Siedelhofs Sebastian Danz and Anna Magdalena, the daughter of the parish council in Hörselgau and Waltershausen Johannes Gnugt (October 12, 1601 in Craula ; † April 24, 1666 in Hörselgau). He completed his first training at the school in Sundhausen, from the age of ten in Friedrichroda and in 1668 at the grammar school in Gotha , which was under the direction of Rector Andreas Reyher . He enrolled at the University of Wittenberg on September 17, 1673, supported by a scholarship from his sovereign. There he first took up studies at the philosophical faculty of the academy. Here Danz heard lectures from Nicolaus Benedict Pascha (1643–1704), Christian Donati , Georg Kaspar Kirchmaier , Michael Walther the Younger , Konrad Samuel Schurzfleisch , Georg Green and Samuel Benedict Carpzov . He was particularly interested in the Oriental languages, which he had deepened in Wittenberg with Johann Wilhelm Hilliger , Andreas Sennert and Theodor Dassov . He also attended lectures at the theological faculty with Abraham Calov , Johann Meisner , Johann Andreas Quenstedt and Samuel Pomarius .

After Danz had carried out his inaugural disputation on October 12, 1676 , he received the degree of Magister in Philosophy on October 16 . On April 22, 1677 he went to Hamburg for further studies , where he carried out oriental research with Esdras Edzard . After further oriental language studies with Johann Benedict Carpzov at the University of Leipzig in 1679 , he returned to Wittenberg, where he defended a few more disputations. On November 2, 1680 he moved to the University of Jena , where Georg Götze and Friedemann Bechmann became his teachers. In the same year he became an adjunct of the philosophy faculty. In 1683 Danz made a cavalier journey through Germany, the Netherlands and England. To this end, he was initially at the University of Giessen with David Clodius and Kilian Rudrauff (1627–1690), then moved to Philipp Jacob Spener in Frankfurt am Main and stayed for a short time in Cologne.

At the University of Leiden he met Friedrich Spanheim , Antonius Hulsius , Stephanus le Moine and Johann Friedrich Gronovius . At the University of Utrecht , Johann Leusden , Johann Georg Graevius , Hermann Witsius and Melchior Leydecker broadened his perspective. After visiting Amsterdam , Rotterdam and The Hague , he crossed to England on March 17, 1684, where he visited London and attended Oxford University with Edward Pococke and Cambridge University with Ralph Cudworth (1617–1688), Johann Spencer ( 1630–1693), Isaac Newton and Edmund Castell (1606–1686). Then he was back in the Netherlands, where he matriculated at the Leiden University on November 21, 1684. Then he moved to the University of Franeker and the University of Groningen , where he made himself known to other celebrities.

He returned to Jena via Bremen, Hamburg and Helmstedt. At the end of 1685 he was appointed Associate Professor of the Sacred and Oriental Languages, which he took up on January 5, 1686. After Johann Frischmuth's death in 1687, he took over his full professorship. Still, his language lessons did not entirely satisfy him. On January 6, 1710 he became an associate professor of theology, obtained his licentiate in theology in the same month and received his doctorate on February 1 with the thesis pro antiquitate baptisimi initiationis judaici vindicanda . In 1713 he became a full professor of theology and remained so until the end of his life. Danz also took part in the organizational tasks of the university and was rector of the alma mater in the summer semester of 1701 and in the winter semesters of 1714, 1718 and 1724 .

On January 30, 1693, Danz married Anna Hedwig Luther, the daughter of the Brandenburg court and chamber judge Gabriel Luther. The marriage remained childless.

As an excellent expert on the oriental languages, he published a Hebrew grammar and therefore endeavored to perfect the language study. Various terminologies can be traced back to him and in his academic writings Danz made a name for himself by describing objects from ancient Hebrews.
