literature

Ortholph was the son of Ortholph Fomann the Elder and his second wife Barbara Mylius (born July 1, 1578 in Augsburg, † May 15, 1637 in Jena). After initial training in Jena, he attended the Princely Henneberg High School in Schleusingen . He then began studying law at the University of Jena , where his father and Oswald Hillinger in particular became his formative teachers. He continued these studies at the University of Giessen with Helfrich Ulrich Hunnius and at the University of Königsberg with Christian Radewald (1593-1620). Returning to Jena, he received his doctorate in 1620 under Valentin Riemer (1582–1635) with the work de Mora to the doctor of law.

In 1625 he became a professor of history and poetry in Jena. He also took part in the organizational tasks of the Jena Salana and was rector of the Alma Mater in the summer semester of 1629 . On May 6, 1633 he was accepted as an extraordinary assessor at the court in Jena and in July 1635 he became a full professor and assessor at the court and Schöppenstuhl. In this activity, however, he was no longer granted too much effectiveness, as he died at the age of 42.
