Joachim Kammermeister, or Camerarius (1500-1574), classical scholar, humanist. Camerarius studied at Leipzig and Erfurt, and later taught at several universities, including Leipzig and Tübingen. He contributed to the educational and scholarly reforms of the German Renaissance and was closely associated with Philip Melanchthon and the Protestant Reformation, although he remained a moderate voice in religious controversies. A prolific editor and translator of Greek and Latin texts, Camerarius produced influential editions of authors such as Herodotus, Thucydides, Homer, Sophocles, Plautus, Cicero, and Aristotle. In addition to his editorial work, Camerarius wrote biographies of ancient authors and treatises on grammar and rhetoric, helping to shape the curriculum of humanist education in Germany. Treccani/)
