Cave Beck (1623 – c. 1706) was an English schoolmaster and clergyman, the author of ''The Universal Character'' (published in London, 1657) in which he proposed a universal language based on a numerical system. ==Life== Beck was born in London in 1623, the son of John Beck, a baker of the parish of St. John, Clerkenwell. He was educated in a private school in London run by a Mr. Brathwayte, and on 13 June 1638 was admitted as a pensioner of St. John's College, Cambridge. He took the degree of B.A. in 1641, and subsequently that of M.A., being incorporated in the latter at Oxford on 17 October 1643. Beck was headmaster of Ipswich School, Ipswich in Suffolk from 1650 to 1657 - Beck Street in that same town is named after him.〔(Ipswich Street names ) (Ipswich Society).〕 In 1657, he resigned and was replaced by former usher Robert Woodside; he was subsequently instituted to St. Helen's, Ipswich or Monksoham (in Suffolk) of which he was also rector. In 1662 he became curate of St. Margaret, Ipswich, and in the same year, by lapse, rector of St. Helen's, Ipswich, with St. Clement's annexed.〔 Beck's date of death is uncertain - however he was certainly alive in 1697, and William Ray, who was instituted to Monksoham in 1706, was probably his immediate successor.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cave Beck」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
