DUKER, CARL ANDREAS (1670-1752) , German classical scholar and jurist, was born at
Unna
  in Westphalia. He studied at the university of Franeker under Jacob Perizonius. In 1700 he was appointed teacher of history and eloquence at the Herborn gymnasium, in 1704 vice-
principal
  of the school at the Hague, and in 1716 he succeeded (with Drakenborch as colleague) to the professorship formerly held by Peter Burmann at
Utrecht
 . After eighteen years'
tenure
  he resigned his post, and lived in retirement at Ysselstein and Vianen. His health finally broke down under excessive study, and he died, almost blind, at the
house
  of a relative in Meiderich near
Duisburg
 , on the 5th of November 1752. His
chief
  classical works were editions of Florus (1722) and
Thucydides
  (r731, considered his best). He brought out the 2nd edition of Perizonius's Origines Babylonicae et Aegyptiacae (1736) and his commentary on
Pomponius
  Mela (1736-1737). Duker was also an authority on ancient law, and published Opuscula Darla de latinitate veterum jurisconsultorum (1711), and a revision of the Leges Atticae of S. Petit (1741).

Encyklopadie.
