Daniel Schwenter

Daniel Schwenter (also: Schwendermarkt; * January 31, 1585 in Nuremberg, † January 19, 1636 in Altdorf bei Nürnberg ) was a German orientalist and mathematician.

Schwenter studied Oriental languages ​​and mathematics at the University of Altdorf, where he was a pupil of the mathematician and astronomer Johann Richter ( Johannes Praetorius ). In 1606 he became a professor of Hebrew, in 1625 professor of oriental languages ​​and throughout 1628 also professor of mathematics.
