Aegidius Strauch II

As early as 1646 he attended lectures at Wittenberg University and studied in the fields of history, mathematics and oriental languages.

On 9 February 1658, Strauch married Martha Magarethe Sibylle Cranach (born 29 September 1634 in Wachsdorf).

[2] In 1664 he published the Breviarium Chronologicum with the subtitle Being a treatise describing the terms and most celebrated characters, periods and epocha's us'd in chronology, by which that useful science may easily be attained to.

In this book, he used mathematics and chronology to assign exact dates and times to major historical events, from the beginning of the world until the split of the Roman Empire in 285.

[4] After Frankenberger's death, he took over as professor in 1664 as substitute for his brother Michael Strauch, who had held the post since 1565.
