Johann Frischmuth

Johann Frischmuth (born March 18, 1619 in Wertheim , † August 19, 1687 in Jena ) was a German orientalist.

Life

Johann was born the son of the baker Johann Frischmuth and his wife Margaretha Buttel. The plague forced him to leave Wertheim. He came to the village of Reichenholz, where he was instructed by the local pastor. He began his studies at the University of Altdorf , where he had enrolled on November 5, 1636. Especially the polyhistor Christoph Adam Rupert (1612–1647) and the philologist Theodor Hackspan (1607–1659) received stimulating elements in his training. So in 1639 he acquired the academic degree of a master's degree in philosophical sciences. In the winter semester of 1645 he moved to the University of Jena , where he attended the lectures of the local theological and philosophical faculty. Johann Tobias Major in particular was able to exert a great influence on him, whose library he was able to use.

After he had defended the dissertation de praeceptis Noachidarum , he gave lectures at the Jena University. When in 1647 Johannes Müller tried to win him as a teacher for the learned school of the Johanneum in Hamburg, this was counteracted in Jena. Instead, in the same year he received the rector's office of the city school in Jena, because they were willing to keep the linguistically gifted Frischmuth in Jena. In addition to his rectorate, he also held lectures at the Jena Salana, which is why he was made an extraordinary professorship in oriental languages ​​in 1649. Here he worked together with Paul Slevogt on the philological development of the educational institution. In 1652 he was also given the full professorship for poetry. When Slevogt died in 1655, he resigned his professorships and took over his position as full professor of the Greek and Hebrew languages. He also took part in the organizational tasks of the Jena Salana. He was dean of the philosophical faculty several times and was rector of the alma mater in the summer semester of 1653 and 1673 . His body was buried on August 22, 1687 in Jena and on August 24 of that year a memorial service was held for the philological Messiah.
