Bartholomaeus Nigrinus

Bartholomaeus Nigrinus

Bartholomaeus Schwartz, latinised to Bartholomaeus Nigrinus (1595-1646) was pastor of the St. Peter and St. Paul's Church in Danzig (Gdańsk), Royal Prussia (Poland).

He might be related to Wilhelm Nigrinus (1588 in Kaaden - 1638 in Wittenberg) (), a German ethnologist.

The famous poet Martin Opitz, a friend, lodged at pastor Nigrinus' place, while visiting Danzig. Both Opitz and Nigrinus sent recommendation letters along with a Robert Fludd. Fludd was connected to the Rosicrucian movement and the Danzig edition of the Rosicrucian Manifestos was printed by the Danzig printer Andreas Hünefeld ("Huenefeldt" or "Hunsfeldus") (1609-1652).

Comenius of Bohemia and Nigrinus had worked in nearby Elbing (Elbląg) on a Bohemian "Pansophy". After the poet Opitz died, pastor Nigrinus with two of his associates edited the Opitz poems published by Huenefeld.
