Georg Engelhardt von Löhneyss

He served as an economic advisor in the courts of Elector Augustus I of Saxony and Heinrich Julius of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel.

At 16 he took part in the Second Huguenot War and joined the service of Count Georg Friedrich von Brandenburg-Ansbach.

In 1575 he moved to the Court of Elector Augustus as a stable master and trainer in riding and fencing.

[1] Löhneyß books are richly decorated with copperplate engravings although the text was plagiarized from the works of others such as Lazarus Ercker and Georgius Agricola.

His books include Cavalleria (1609), Bericht vom Bergwerk (1617),[2][3] and the posthumous Aulico Politica (1624) which influenced other writers like Veit Ludwig von Seckendorff.
