Thomas Sagittarius

Thomas Sagittarius (born April 7, 1577 in Stendal ; † April 21, 1621 in Breslau ) was a German philologist, philosophical logician and educator.

Life

Sagittarius was the son of the deacon of the same name at the Stendal St. Mary's Church and his first wife Gertraud Melliß. He was thus a half-brother of the pedagogue and theologian Caspar Sagittarius (1597–1667). Maybe he attended school in Stendal. In the summer semester of 1594 he enrolled at the University of Jena , where he initially pursued philosophical studies. On February 3, 1597 he acquired the academic degree of a master's degree in philosophy, received the poet's crown from Nikolaus von Reusner on July 15, 1600, and received his doctorate in law on August 3, 1599. After he had participated in the lectures at the Jena University, he received a position on October 2, 1602 as an adjunct of the philosophical faculty at the University of Frankfurt .

On July 24, 1605 he became professor of Greek language and literature at the Jena University, where he began with the inaugural address De dicto, et Christo et Musis Studiosus militat omnis . In 1610 he took over the professorship for logic and metaphysics in Jena. In his capacity as a Jena university lecturer, he also participated in the university's organizational tasks. He was dean of the philosophical faculty a few times and in the summer semester 1613 rector of the alma mater . Teaching disputes with the supporters of Wolfgang Ratke are said to have induced him to resign from his Jena service. He moved to Breslau, where on September 8, 1616 he took over the position of rector at the Elisabethgymnasium and connected with it was inspector of the other schools in Breslau. Here he worked out a new school regulation in 1617. He died after a long illness.

Sagittarius married Magdalena Cather on November 11, 1604 (born April 23, 1580 in Halle (Saale); † June 25, 1623 in Jena), the daughter of Andreas Cather, a Pfänner from Halle, and his wife Anna Naeve, the daughter of Dr. med. and personal physician to the Electorate of Saxony, Johann Caspar Naeve. There are children from the marriage. Of these, the sons Johann Christfried Sagittarius , Johann Friedrich Sagittarius, Johann Gottfried Sagittarius and Thomas Andreas Sagittarius are known. The daughter Maria Magdalena Sagittarius (* December 10, 1606 in Jena; † April 7, 1640 in Isserstedt) married the pastor in Lehnstedt in Jena on September 26, 1625 and later Johann Andreas Major in Isserstedt (November 30, 1595; † 4. January 1654 in Isserstedt), the son of the Jena theologian Johannes Major .
