Individual evidence

  1. ↑ The year of death 1702 comes from Lehmann's Historischen Remarques from May 2, 1702 and the European day register to the year 1702 from the year 1703. Pratje gives in old and new from the duchies of Bremen and Verden from the year 1778 (newly published in the year 1845) indicates the year of death 1701, but then contradicts the article about the son of the same name, Otto Matthaei , by specifying the year of his father's death as 1702. Since the later literature always refers to Pratje as the source, the year of death 1701 will be an error, and the year 1702 must be regarded as the correct year of death (see the section on literature ).
  2. ↑ Entry of the child's enrollment 1639 in the Rostock matriculation portal (to bypass the deposition ).
