Lambert Bos
Lambert Bos (23 October 1670 – 6 January 1717) (or Lambertus Bos or Lammert Bos) was a Dutch scholar, critic and forerunner of Tiberius Hemsterhuis.
Lambert Bos was born at Workum in Friesland, where his father, Jakob Bos, was headmaster of the school.[1] His mother was Gerarda de Haan.[2] He was baptised in the reformed church in Workum on 25 November 1670.[3] He went to the University of Franeker (suppressed by Napoleon in 1811), and was appointed lector in 1697 and professor of Greek in 1704.[1] On 28 February 1712 he married Feiktje Doeckes Sineda, the widow of the priest Gerradus Horreus,[4] and earlier the widow of Dominic Camper.[2] after an uneventful life he died at Franeker in 1717.[1]
His most famous work, Ellipses Graecae[5] (1702), was translated into English by John Seager (1830); and his Antiquitates Graecae (1714) passed through several editions. He also published Vetus Testamentum, Ex Versione lxx. Interpretum[6] (1709); notes on Thomas Magister (1698); Exercitationes Philologicae ad loca nonnulla Novi Foederis (1700); Animadversiones ad Scriptores quosdam Graecos (1715); and two small treatises on Accents and Greek Syntax.[1]
