He was originally intended for the See also:law, but from an See also:early See also:age showed a decided. preference for classical studies. In 1658 he went to See also:Holland in the See also:hope of finding See also:work as a teacher of See also:classics, and in the following See also:year, through the See also:influence of J. F. See also:Gronovius, he obtained the See also:post of See also:tutor and travelling See also:companion to a wealthy See also:young Dutchman, See also:Samuel Schars. During his travels Gude seized the opportunity of copying See also:inscriptions and See also:MSS. At the See also:earnest See also:request of his See also:pupil, who had become greatly attached to him, Gude refused more than one professional See also:appointment, and it was not until 1671 that he accepted the post of librarian to See also:Duke See also:Christian See also:Albert of Holstein-Gottorp. Schars, who had accompanied Gude, died in 1675, and See also:left him the greater See also:part of his See also:property. In 1678 Gude, having quarrelled with the duke, retired into private See also:life; but in 1682 he entered the service of Christian V. of See also:Denmark as counsellor of the See also:Schleswig-Holstein chancellery, and remained in it almost to the See also:time of his See also:death on the 26th of See also:November 1689. Gude's See also:great life-work, the collection of See also:Greek and Latin inscriptions, was not published till 1731. Mention may also be made of his editio princeps (1661) of the See also:treatise of See also:Hippolytus the See also:Martyr on See also:Antichrist, and of his notes on See also:Phaedrus (with four new fables discovered by him) published in P. See also:Burmann's edition (1698).

His See also:

correspondence (ed. P. Burmann, 1697) is the most important authority for the events of Gude's life, besides containing valuable See also:information on the learning of the times. See also J. Moller, Cimbria literates, iii., and C. See also:Bursian in Allgemeine deutsche Biographie, x.
