Johannes Simonius also Johann Simon (* 1565 in Burg (near Magdeburg) ; † May 29, 1627 in Uppsala (Sweden)) was a German philosopher, professor at the University of Rostock and the University of Uppsala .
Life
Johannes Simonius came to Rostock in 1590 as an instructor ( court master ) for Duke Wilhelm von Kurland , where he was enrolled at the university together with him for the winter semester 1590/91 under the rector Wilhelm Lauremberg . In August 1593 he received his Master's degree and in October of that year he was accepted into the Philosophical Faculty alongside Martin Brasch . In 1593, Duke Adolf Friedrich I was appointed (ducal) full professor of poetics to succeed Nathan Chyträus . From 1595 he held the position of ducal full professor of eloquence . Between 1597 and 1623 he was dean or vice dean of the Philosophical Faculty nine times, in 1602 Vice-Rector of Rector Ulrich, Duke of Pomerania, and in 1615 he was appointed protonotary of the court.
Recognized as a rhetorician far beyond the Baltic Sea region , Simonius followed a call from Johan Skytte to Uppsala as professor of eloquence and politics in 1625 at the age of 60 . He became the first holder of the Skytte professorship for politics and rhetoric ( Skytteanska professuren i statskunskap och vältalighet ), which is today the most prestigious award in political science worldwide.
From 1592 Johannes Simonius was married to Margarethe Schmede († 1603) from Wismar, a granddaughter of the Rostock councilor Lorenz Schmede. After her death, he was married for a second time from 1604 to Dorothea Everdt († 1631), daughter of the Rostock citizen and businessman Hans Everdt.
