Johann Friedrich Behrendt
Johann Friedrich Behrendt , also Behrend (* around 1700 in Insterburg , † June 16, 1757 in Zerbst ) was a German educator and librarian.
Life
Behrendt was the son of the Protestant pastor Johann Behrendt in Insterburg, who translated the Bible into the Lithuanian language. He studied at the Albertus University in Königsberg . He then went on a study trip to Holland, where he stayed for two years and worked as an amanuensis and proofreader for the scholar Jacques Philippe d'Orville , at the time professor of the Athenaeum Illustre Amsterdam .
In February 1739 the council of the Hanseatic City of Lübeck appointed him on the recommendation of the main pastor at the Jakobikirche in Hamburg Erdmann Neumeister and the polyhistor Johann Christoph Wolf as successor to Karl Heinrich Lange as sub-rector at the Katharineum in Lübeck , since his predecessor Karl Heinrich Lange had become deputy rector. The management of the city library was also connected to this position . In December 1743 he accepted an appointment as vice-principal at the Gymnasium zum Grauen Kloster in Berlin . His successor in Lübeck was Johann Daniel Overbeck . At an unknown point in time, Behrendt gave up the position in Berlin to become a country pastor in Walchow (Fehrbellin) . In 1754 he resigned from this office and was appointed rector of the Zerbst City and Collegiate School the following year .
Ten letters from Behrendt to Jacques Philippe d'Orville have been preserved in the Bodleian Library . His studbook , which has also been preserved , came onto the art market in 2008. It was filleted in the same year and has been offered on the art market in single sheets ever since.
