'''Bartholomäus Keckermann''' (c. 1572 – 25 August (or July) 1609) was a German writer, [[Calvinist]] theologian and philosopher. He is known for his ''Analytic Method''. As a writer on [[rhetoric]], he is compared to [[Gerhard Johann Vossius]], and considered influential in Northern Europe and England.<ref>[https://archive.org/details/rhetoricineurope0000conl/page/157  Thomas M. Conley, Rhetoric in the European Tradition, 1994]</ref>

==Biography==
Keckermann was born in [[Gdańsk]] ([[Danzig]]), in the [[Kingdom of Poland]], to Calvinists Georg and Gertrude Keckermann<ref>{{cite book |title=The Biographical Encyclopedia of Astronomers |last=Hockey |first=Thomas |year=2009 |publisher=[[Springer Publishing]] |isbn=978-0-387-31022-0 |access-date=August 22, 2012 |url=http://www.springerreference.com/docs/html/chapterdbid/58747.html}}</ref> and attended the local Academic Gymnasium before moving on to the [[University of Wittenberg]] (May 1590) and the [[University of Leipzig]] (spring 1592). However following the death of Prince [[Christian I, Elector of Saxony|Christian I]] in 1591, Keckermann participated in the migration of Calvinist academics to the [[University of Heidelberg]] in October 1592. He received his [[Master of Arts]] degree on 27 February 1595. On 4 February{{dubious|date=August 2022}} he was appointed Professor of Hebrew there. In 1601 he returned to his home town to teach as rector (1602–1608) at the [[Gymnasium of Danzig]]. His numerous works were published towards the end of his short life, or (most of them) posthumously.

Keckermann died in Danzig. He is described in [[Melchior Adam]]'s works.
