Jacob Mortenssøn Maschius (c.1630 – 12 August 1678) was a Norwegian clergyman, poet and copperplate engraver. He is most remembered for the poetry book, ''Norwegia religiosa'' (1661). 〔( ''Maschius, Jakob'' (Nordisk familjebok / Uggleupplagan. 17. Lux - Mekanik / 1151-1152 (1912) )〕 Maschius attended Bergen Cathedral School in 1651. He subsequently traveled to Copenhagen and studied there for some years, returning to Norway in 1659. He received a commission to serve as draftsman during the construction of a fortification on Munkholmen, an islet located north of Trondheim. Construction of the fortress began in 1658 and was completed in 1661. From 1668-1669, he worked for Johan Frederik von Marschalck, commander of Bergenhus Fortress located in the entrance to the harbor in Bergen. After a visit to the Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim approximately 1660, he wrote a poetry book entitled ''Norwegia religiosa''. It contained illustrations of the cathedral, one set from the north, the second of the western front. These later formed the basis for discussions regarding subsequent restoration of the cathedral which was initiated in 1869. 〔(''Jacob Mortenssøn Maschius (1630 *-1678)'' (Trondheim kommune) )〕 In 1676, he was appointed priest in the parish of Jølster in Sogn og Fjordane county. He became engaged in May 1678 with Maren Finde, who was his predecessors widow. They were married in June 1678. He continued to serve as parish priest until the time of his death in 1678. ==References== 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「Jacob Maschius」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
