PERIZONIUS (or ACCINCTUS) , the name of See also:JAKOB VOORBROEK (1651–1715), Dutch classical See also:scholar, who was See also:born at Appingedam in See also:Groningen on the 26th of See also:October 16 51. He was the son of Anton Perizonius (1626–1672); the author of a once well-known See also:treatise, De ratione studii theologici. Having studied at the university of See also:Utrecht, he was appointed in 1682 to the See also:chair of eloquence and See also:history at See also:Franeker through the See also:influence of J. G. See also:Graevius and See also:Nicolas See also:Heinsius. In 1693 he was promoted to the corresponding chair at See also:Leiden, where he died on the 6th of See also:April 1715. The numerous See also:works of Perizonius entitle him to a very high See also:place among the scholars of his See also:age. See also:Special See also:interest attaches to his edition of the See also:Minerva of Francisco See also:Sanchez or Sanctius of See also:Salamanca (1st ed., 1587; ed. C. L. See also:Bauer, 1793-1801), one of the last developments of the study of Latin See also:grammar in its pre-scientific See also:stage, when the phenomena of See also:language were still regarded as for the most See also:part disconnected, conventional or fortuitous. Mention should also be made of his Animadversiones historicae (r685), which may be said to have laid the See also:foundations of See also:historical See also:criticism, and of his See also:treatises on the See also:Roman See also:republic, alluded to by See also:Niebuhr as marking the beginning of that new era of historical study with which his own name is so closely associated.
