Marcus Meibomius〔Known as Marcus, Marc or Mark Meibom, Meiboom or Maybaum.〕 (c. 1630 – 1710/1711) was a Danish〔Or possibly German, from Holstein.〕 general scholar. Best known now as a historian of music, he was an antiquarian and librarian, and also a philologist and mathematician. He is best known for his work ''Antiquae musicae auctores septem'' of 1652, on ancient Greek music. It printed works, in Greek originals with Latin translation, by Aristoxenos, Cleonides (though attributed to Euclid) Gaudentius, Nicomachus, Alypius, Bacchius, and Aristides Quintilianus (supported by Martianus Capella). It is now seen as pioneer scholarship, not supplanted until the twentieth century, and largely comprehensive on the topic. He attempted concert performances reconstructing Greek music. He wrote also on the Bible and classical triremes (''Fabrica Triremium'', 1671). A well-known figure and intellectual of his times, he was considered a polemicist and a somewhat eccentric figure, about whom anecdotes circulated. ==Sources== * (), under Maybaum, gives his birth date as 1630, place of birth Tönningen, Denmark * (), p. 264, gives him as born 1620, and Danish. * () gives dates 1630-1711, gives some career details (work for Queen Christina in Sweden, and in Copenhagen 1653-1663 as librarian).
