Michael Bergmann (Author)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Michael Bergmann (born August 17, 1633 in Pirna , † May 6, 1675 in Woltin ) was a German author of reference works.

Life

Bergmann attended the Princely School in Meissen and possibly also the Ratsgymnasium in Zittau . In June 1653 he moved to the University of Wittenberg as "Misnucus" and on April 26, 1655 acquired his master's degree in philosophy . Subsequently, he was ordained pastor in Woltin near Greifenhagen and in 1660 married the merchant's daughter Regina Hagel, who came from Stettin .

In his work "Deutsches Aerarium", Bergmann put together an extensive collection of exemplary tropes and figures from German baroque poetry, which was a widely used reference work until the 17th century. As an admirer of Martin Luther's linguistic creative achievement, he added another to this reference work with his spiritual encyclopedia “Aerarium Biblicum”. Luther's biblical expressions find a transference in his paraphrasing dictionary.
