Daniel Georg Morhof (February 6, 1639 – July 30, 1691) was a German writer and scholar. He was born at Wismar. He first studied jurisprudence and then ''literae humaniores'' at the University of Rostock,〔See entries of (Daniel Georg Morhof ) in Rostock Matrikelportal〕 where his elegant Latin versification procured for him in 1660 the chair of poetry.〔See entry of (Daniel Georg Morhof ) in Catalogus Professorum Rostochiensium〕 In 1665 he moved to the University of Kiel as professor of eloquence and poetry; this chair he exchanged for that of history in 1673. He died at Lübeck. Of his numerous writings, the most important are ''Unterricht von der deutschen Sprache und Poesie'' (1682), the first attempt in Germany at a systematic survey of European literature, and ''Polyhistor, sive de auctorum notitia et rerum commentarii'' (Lübeck, 1688, not completed till 1707; 4th ed., 1747), a kind of encyclopaedia of the knowledge and learning of his time. == Notes == ;Attribution This cites: * Eymer, ''Morhof und sein Polyhistor'' (in the ''Xenia Austriaca'', Vienna, 1893) * Biography by R. v.
