Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BUN-CAL
BURMANN, PIETER (1714-1778) , called by himself " the Younger " (Secundus), Dutch philologist, nephew of the above, was born at
Amsterdam
  on the 13th of October 1714. He was brought up by his uncle in Leiden, and afterwards studied law and philology under C. A.
Duker
  and
Arnold
  von Drakenborch at
Utrecht
 . In 1735 he was appointed professor of eloquence and history at Franeker, with which the chair of poetry was combined in 1741. In the following year he left Franeker for
Amsterdam
  to become professor of history and philology at the
Athenaeum
 . He was subsequently professor of poetry (1744), general librarian (1752), and inspector of the gymnasium (1753). In 1777 he retired, and died on the 24th of June 1778 at Sandhorst, near Amsterdam. He resembled his more famous uncle in the manner and direction of his studies, and in his violent disposition, which involved him in quarrels with contemporaries, notably Saxe and Klotz. He was a man of extensive learning, and had a
great
  talent for Latin poetry. His most valuable works are: Anthologia Veterum Latinorum Epigrammatum et Poematum (17591773) ; Aristophanis comoediae Novem (176o) ; Rhetorica ad Herennium (1761). He completed the editions of Virgil (1746)and Claudian (176o), which had been left unfinished by his uncle, and commenced an edition of Propertius, one of his best works, which was only half printed at the time of his death. It was completed by L. van Santen and published in 1780.
