ABELIN, JOHANN PHILIPP

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 42 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: A10-ADA
ABELIN, JOHANN PHILIPP , an early 16th-century German chronicler, was born, probably, at Strasburg, and died there between the years 1634 and 1637. He wrote numerous histories over the pseudonyms of Philipp Arlanibaus, Abeleus and Johann Ludwig Gottfried or Gotofredus, his earliest works of importance
being his history of the German wars of Gustavus Adolphus, entitled Arma Suecica (pub. 1631-1634, in 12 parts), and the Inventarium Sueciae (1632)both compilations from existing records. His best known
work
  is the Theatrum Europaeum, a
series
  of chronicles of the
chief
  events in the history of the world down to 1619. He was himself responsible for the first two volumes. It was continued by various writers and grew to twenty-one volumes (Frankf. 1633-1738). The
chief
 
interest
  of the
work
  is, however, its
illustration
  by the beautiful copper-
plate
  engravings of Matthaus
Merian
  (1593-1650). Abelin also wrote a history of the antipodes, Historia Antipodum (posthumously pub. Frankf. 1655), and a history of India.

Droysen
 , Arlanibaeus, Godofredus, Abelinus (Berlin, 1864); and notice in Allgemeine Deutsche Biographic.
