Johann Philipp (Philippus) Burckhardt (also listed as Burchard ; * January 20, 1627 in Worms ; † January 15, 1688 in Heidelberg ) was a lawyer and in 1656 rector of Heidelberg University .

Life

His parents were the Heidelberg mayor and court assessor Johann Philipp Burchard (Burckhardt) (1592 in Heidelberg; † 1635 in Worms) and Maria Elisabeth de Lannoy (* 1591 in Heidelberg; † 1632 in Birstein ). Philip married on February 4, 1657 Susanna Maria d'Orville (daughter of Friedrichs d'Orville (Dorvilius) and Maria Modesta Camerarius ).

Burckhardt studied first from 1644 at the high school in Hanau (the current high school ) and then at the universities of Marburg , Groningen , Franeker and Leiden in the Netherlands. In Leiden he received his legal doctorate on March 11, 1654. From then on he was a lawyer in The Hague in the Netherlands until 1656 .

Together with the theologians Daniel Tossanus , Johann Heinrich Hottinger and Johann Ludwig Fabricius and the lawyers Heinrich David Chuno and Friedrich von Jena , he was counted among the outstanding lecturers at Heidelberg University. He was appointed professor there on June 24, 1656 and was rector of the university from December 20, 1656 to January 12, 1658. In 1658 he became a syndic in Hanau and in 1684 a church and higher judge in Heidelberg.
