Martin Lipenius
Martin Lipenius ( Latinized from Lipen , * (9) / November 11, 1630 in Götz, today part of Groß Kreutz (Havel) in Brandenburg; † November 6, 1692 in Lübeck ) was a German pedagogue and bibliographer .
Life
Lipen first attended schools in Brandenburg an der Havel and Neuruppin as well as the grammar school in Stettin . He matriculated on May 29, 1651 at the University of Wittenberg to study philosophy and theology. After he had obtained the degree of a master's degree on October 12, 1652 , he began to give lectures and take part in disputations . He did so with such success that on October 17, 1658 he was accepted as an adjunct in the philosophical faculty.
In 1659 he received a call as vice-principal at the grammar school in Halle an der Saale , which he started on April 18. In 1672 he went to the Regium Gymnasium Carolinum in Stettin as rector , and finally in 1676 he became vice rector of the Katharineum in Lübeck . He held this position until his death.
plant
Lipenius was the author of a large number of theses, programs and personal writings .
However, Martin Lipenius became famous for his life's work, the Biblotheca realis . In four folio volumes he presented comprehensive specialist bibliographies in the fields of law, medicine, philosophy and theology between 1679 and 1685 . These volumes were organized like a real catalog ; Lipenius did not organize the books he recorded alphabetically according to the author's name, but according to their content according to a system of sciences into a multitude of disciplines, groups and subgroups. The immense work that went into the volumes was highly respected at the time, but later he was accused that the Bibliotheca realis was full of gross and sometimes ridiculous errors and that even the most careful use of it is dangerous. But despite the shortcomings and pitfalls of this work , it is considered indispensable in some areas and is still in use today; for the legal part, several volumes of supplements and corrections appeared until the early 19th century.
family
In terms of genealogy, it should be noted that he married Anna Barbara (died October 12, 1675 in Stettin), the daughter of the pastor at the Ulrich Church D. Sixtus Bertram, in Halle. After her death, he married a second time. The son Sixt Christian Lipenius , who was born in Halle and who later also taught at the Katharineum, came from the first marriage . His second marriage was the result of his son Johann Martin, born in Bremen, who advanced to a doctorate in law after studying at the University of Leipzig and Halle University .
