DEKKER, JEREMIAS DE (1610-1666)

This article appears in Volume V07, Page 939 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DAH-DEM
DEKKER, JEREMIAS DE (1610-1666) , Dutch poet, was born at Dort in 161o. His father was a native of Antwerp, who, having embraced the reformed religion, had been compelled to take
refuge
  in Holland. Entering his father's business at an early age, he found leisure to cultivate his
taste
  for literature and especially for poetry, and to acquire without assistance a competent knowledge of English, French, Latin and Italian. His first poem was a paraphrase of the Lamentations of Jeremiah (Klaagliedern van Jeremias), which was followed by translations and imitations of
Horace
 , Juvenal and other Latin poets. The most important of his
original
  poems were a collection of epigrams (Puntdichten) and a
satire
  in praise of avarice (Lof der Geldzucht). The latter is his best-known
work
 . Written in a vein of light and
yet effective irony, it is usually ranked by critics along with
Erasmus
 's Praise of Folly.
Dekker
  died at Amsterdam in
November 1666.
A complete collection of his poems, edited by Brouerius van Nideck, was published at Amsterdam in 1726 under the title Exercices poetiques (2 vols. 4to.). Selections from his poems are included in Siegenbeck's Proeven van nederduitsche Dichtkunde (1823), and from his epigrams in Geijsbeek's Epigrammatische Anthologie (1827).
