Johann Heinrich Alsted
Johann Heinrich Alsted (1588-1638), German Protestant divine.
He was some time professor of philosophy and theology at Herborn, in Nassau, and afterwards at Weissenburg[?] in Transylvania, where he remained till his death in 1638. He was a prolific writer, and his Encyclopaedia (1630), the most considerable of the earlier works of that class, was long held in high estimation.
