Johann Raue

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Johannes Raue (1610–1679)

Johann Raue (also: Ravius ; * 1610 in Berlin ; † November 1679 ) was the first librarian of the “electoral library of Cölln on the Spree”, which later became the Berlin State Library ; Professor at the Joachimsthalschen Gymnasium in Berlin and school inspector of the Mark Brandenburg .

He began his career in 1629 as a student in Wittenberg, later he went to Erfurt and Rostock as a professor, where he tried to reform Latin and theological teaching. Before the hostility that followed, he fled in 1639 to the Danish knight academy in Sorö . In 1645 he visited Jan Amos Comenius in Elbing and soon afterwards became a professor in Danzig. On June 5, 1652, he submitted his school improvement proposals under the title Modus informandi to the Elector of Saxony. However, his reform efforts met with the rejection of the traditionalist-minded reviewers in Leipzig and Wittenberg, and so he followed the appointment of the Great Elector to Berlin in 1654, who appointed him as electoral librarian in 1658. In 1661, the library managed by Raue became accessible to the public. In 1668 he wrote "the first 'Catalogus Manuscriptorum', in which the manuscripts were described in the order in which they were listed ('repositories')."
