(Joachim), a learned German critic, was born at Gripwalde in Pomerania, in 1647. He was in 1669 made principal of the college at Oettingen in Swabia; in 1676, he was elected Greek professor in the principal college at Straßburg; and after acquiring himself with honour for ten years in this capacity, was made Greek and Hebrew professor in the same university. His uncommon skill in the Greek language drew a great number of scholars about him from very distant places; and he published some classic authors with very learned notes both explanatory and critical. He died in 1697.
