Cyprian Kinner (died 1649)〔(EMLO 14 Jul 1645: Kinner, Cyprian d.1649 (Brieg, Opole Voivodeship, Poland) to Komenský, Jan Amos, 1592-1670 (Elbing, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, (Royal Prussia) Poland). )〕 was a Silesian educator and linguist. He has been described as the bridge between the projects of 17th-century Europe concerned with a universal language, and those concerned with a philosophical language. He has also been called a pioneer of faceted classification.〔Hans G. Schulte-Albert, ''Cyprian Kinner and the Idea of a Faceted Classification'' Publication Date: 19-10-2009 ISSN: 1865-8423 DOI: 10.1515/libr.1974.24.4.324.〕 ==Life== Kinner was a pupil of Melchior Lauban in Brieg who also taught Samuel Hartlib and Abraham von Franckenberg,〔(EMLO letter. )〕 who both were to be important in Kinner's life; Lauban had previously been a professor of philology in Danzig, and was an admirer of Bartholomäus Keckermann. Kinner became physician in ordinary at the court of the Duchy of Brieg.〔(Martin Mulsow, ''Who was the Author of the Clavis apocalyptica of 1651? Millenarianism and Prophecy between Silesian Mysticism and the Hartlib Circle'' (PDF). )〕 Kinner's career as physician and jurist was interrupted by the invasion of Silesia by troops of the Habsburg Empire. Around 1630 he was supported by the Dutch church in London. In 1631 he turned down an invitation from the Racovian Academy, instead going to the Imperial court in Prague at the request of Michael Sendivogius. In 1634 to 1635 he worked with Johann Heinrich Bisterfeld and Johann Heinrich Alsted. From about 1644 to 1647, Kinner worked with Comenius, but the relationship was troubled.〔 In the period 1645-6 the patronage of Louis de Geer, who said the salary was too high, looked uncertain; then Kinner was held up in Schleswig-Holstein.〔Maurice Walter Keatinge (editor), ''The Great didactic of John Amos Comenius: Now for the First Time Englished ...'' (1896) pp. 59-60; (archive.org ).〕 In the end he succeeded Georg Ritschel as assistant to Comenius, but suffered in the same way, being told that finances precluded keeping him on.〔(John T. Young, ''Faith, Medical Alchemy and Natural Philosophy: Johann Moriaen, Reformed Intelligencer, and the Hartlib Circle'', Chapter Four: Panaceas of the Soul: Comenius and the Dream of Universal Knowledge (2007). )〕 Kinner spent further time in Poland. There he knew the astronomer Maria Kunicka, and in Elbing in 1647 he associated with von Franckenburg and the Danzig astronomer Johan Hevelius. Right at the end of his life, in 1649, he visited England, where William Petty was set by Hartlib to translate one of his books into English. He died suddenly in May 1649.〔〔Benjamin DeMott, ''The Sources and Development of John Wilkins' Philosophical Language'', The Journal of English and Germanic Philology, Vol. 57, No. 1 (Jan., 1958), pp. 1-13.
