(Henry), in Latin Kippingius, a learned German Lutheran born at Bostock; where, after having received the degree of master of arts, he was met by some soldiers who pressed him into the service. This, however, did not prevent his following his studies. One day while he was upon duty, holding his musket in one hand and the poet Statius in the other, a Swedish counsellor, who perceived him in that attitude, came up to him, entered into discourse with him, and then taking him to his house made him his librarian, and procured him the under-rectorship of the college of Bremen, where he died in 1678. He wrote many works in Latin; the principal of which are, 1. A treatise on the antiquities of the Romans. 2. Another on the works of Creation. 3. Several dissertations on the Old and New Testament, &c.
