- Description
-
Iohannes Baers (Baersius), born in Ghent 1580, d. 1653, studied theology in Leiden, was minister in various places in the Northern Netherlands, was 1629 in Pernambuco (Brasil) and in 1632 back in the Netherlands minister in Soest. He is the author of two books in Dutch, published in 1648 and 1653 respectively, but his poetic paraphrase of Lamentations seems to be unrecorded. Whether this work was finished in 1601 or 1605 is not clear. This Carmelite monk in Ghent, named Paschasius Baers, became after his conversion minister in Zele (East Flanders) and from 1580 onwards in various places in the Netherlands; from 1590 to 1603 he was active in Leeuwarden.
