See also:BALDE, See also:JAKOB (1604-1668) , See also:German Latinist, was See also:born at Ensisheim in See also:Alsace on the 4th of See also:January 1604. Driven from Alsace by the marauding bands of See also:Count See also:Mansfeld, he fled to See also:Ingolstadt where he began to study See also:law. A love disappointment, however, turned his thoughts to the See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk

church, and in 1624 he entered the Society of Jesus. Continuing his study of the humanities, he became in 1628 See also:professor of See also:rhetoric at See also:Innsbruck, and in 1635 at Ingolstadt, whither he had been transferred by his superiors in See also:- ORDER
- ORDER (through Fr. ordre, for earlier ordene, from Lat. ordo, ordinis, rank, service, arrangement; the ultimate source is generally taken to be the root seen in Lat. oriri, rise, arise, begin; cf. " origin ")
- ORDER, HOLY
order to study See also:theology. In 1633 he was ordained See also:priest. His lectures and poems had now made him famous, and he was summoned to See also:Munich where, in 1638, he became See also:court See also:chaplain to the elector See also:Maximilian I. He remained in Munich till 1650, when he went to live at See also:Landshut and afterwards at See also:Amberg. In 1654 he was transferred to Neuberg on the See also:Danube, as court preacher and See also:confessor to the count See also:palatine. In the See also:opinion of his contemporaries, Balde revived the glories of the Augustan See also:age, and See also:Pope See also:Alexander VII. and the scholars of the See also:Netherlands combined to do him See also:honour; even See also:Herder regarded him as a greater poet than See also:Horace. While such judgments are naturally exaggerated, there is no doubt that he takes a very high See also:place among See also:modern Latin poets. He died at Neuberg on the 9th of See also:August 1668.
A collected edition of Balde's See also:works in 4 vols. was published at See also:Cologne in 165o; a more See also:complete edition in 8 vols. at Munich, 1729; also a See also:good selection by L. Spach (See also:Paris and See also:Strassburg, 1871). An edition of his Latin lyrics appeared at See also:Regensburg in 1884. There are See also:translations into German of his finer odes, by J. Schrott and M. Schleich (Munich, 1870). See G. Westermayer, Jacobus Balde, sein Leben and See also:seine Werke (1868) ; J. See also:Bach, Jakob Balde (See also:Freiburg, 1904).
