GESNER, JOHANN MATTHIAS (16911761) , German classical scholar and schoolmaster, was born at Roth near Ansbach on the 9th of April 1691. He studied at the university of Jena, and in 1714 published a
work
  on the Philopatris ascribed to Lucian. In 1715 he became librarian and conrector (vice-principal) at
Weimar
 , in 1729
rector
  of the gymnasium at Ansbach, and in 1730
rector
  of the
Thomas
  school at
Leipzig
 . On the foundation of the university of Gottingen he became professor of rhetoric (1734) and subsequently librarian. He died at Gottingen on the 3rd of August 1761. His
special

Horace
  and the Orphic poems (published after his death) ; Primate. lineae isagoges in eruditionem universalem (1756) ; an edition of B.
