Johann Heinrich Bisterfeld

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Heinrich Bisterfeld (1605 – 16 February 1655) was a German philosopher, logician and encyclopedic writer from Siegen.^[1] A follower of Ramus and pupil of Johann Heinrich Alsted at the Herborn Academy (Academia Nassauensis),^[2] Bisterfeld became head of the academy in Weissenburg (Alba Iulia) in Transylvania, where he died.

The Bisterfeldius redivivus (The Hague, 1661) appeared posthumously in two volumes, the first being Alphabeti philosophici libri tres, on universal language; this work is considered an influence on Leibniz. He wrote other works, in particular on logic and theology.
