Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CLI-COM
CLUWER (CLUVER, CLUVIER, CLUVERIUS), PHILIP (158o-1623) , German geographer and historian, was born at Danzig in 1580. After travelling in Germany and Poland (where he learnt
Polish
 ), he began the study of law at Leiden, but he soon turned his attention to history and geography, which were then taught there by Joseph
Scaliger
 . After campaigning in Bohemia and
Hungary
 , suffering imprisonment, and travelling in England,
Scotland
  and France, he finally settled in Holland, where (after 1616) he received a
regular
  pension from Leiden
Academy
 . In 1611 he began to publish his works. He died at Leiden in 1623. His
principal
  writings are: Germania Antiqua (1616), Siciliae Antiquae libri duo,
Sardinia
  et Corsica Antiqua (1619), and the posthumous Italia Antiqua (1624) and Introductio in Universam Geographiam (1629).
