BARTH, KASPAR VON (1587-1658)

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 447 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BAR-BEC
BARTH, KASPAR VON (1587-1658) ,
German
  philologist, was born at Kiistrin in the province of Brandenburg on the 21st of June 1587. He was an extremely precocious child, and was looked upon as a marvel of learning. After studying at Gotha, Eisenach, Wittenberg and Jena, he travelled extensively, visiting most of the countries of Europe. `Too independent to accept any
regular
 
post
 , he lived alternately at
Halle
  and on his property at Sellerhausen near
Leipzig
 . In 1636, his library and MSS. at Sellerhausen having been destroyed by fire, he removed to the Paulinum at
Leipzig
 , where he died on the 17th of September 1658. Barth was a very voluminous writer; his works, which were the fruits of extensive
reading
  and a retentive memory, are unmethodical and uncritical and marred by want of
taste
  and of clearness. He appears to have been excessively vain and of an unamiable disposition. Of his writings the most important are; Adversaria (1624), a storehouse of. miscellaneous learning, dealing not only with classical but also with medieval and
modern
  writers; and commentaries on Claudian (1612, 1650) and
Statius
  (1664).
