Johann Heinrich, a German Protestant divine, and one of the most indefatigable and voluminous writers of the seventeenth century. He was sometime professor of philosophy and divinity at Herborn, in the county of Nassau. From thence he went into Transylvania, to be professor at Weissenberg, where he continued till his death, in 1638. His Encyclopaedia, the most considerable of the earlier works of that class, was long held in very high estimation. It was published in 1630, in two large folio volumes. His Thesaurus Chronologicus has gone through several editions. He also wrote Triumphus Biblicus, to show that the principles of all arts and sciences are to be found in the Scriptures. He was a Millenarian, and published, in 1627, a treatise De Mille Annis, in which he asserted that the reign of the saints on earth was to begin in 1694.
