De artis poeticæ natura, ac constitutione - Vossius, Gerardus Joannes 1577-1649 (Amsterdam Elsevier, 1647)
Vossius was a Dutch Protestant theologian, linguist, historian and humanist (1577-1649). He was amongst the first scholars to treat both Christian theological dogma and non-Christian religion from a scientific-historical, instead of a theological point of view. He was regarded as a homo universalis because he involved himself in many fields of science.
