The theologian Johann Augustin Dietelmair was born in 1717 and died in 1785. Johann Heinrich Schulze (12 May 1687 10 October 1744) was a German professor and polymath. Schulze studied medicine, chemistry, philosophy and theology and became a professor in Altdorf and Halle for anatomy and several other subjects. Copied in the 5th century, Codex Alexandrinus is one of the three early Greek manuscripts that preserve both the Old and the New Testaments together. Its name ( Book from Alexandria ) derives from the city of Alexandria in Egypt, where it was preserved before the Greek Patriarch of Alexandria, Cyril Lucar (d. 1638) brought it to Constantinople in 1621. As Greek Orthodox Patriarch, Lucar had close ties to Britain and the Church of England, which supported him in many of his activities. He presented this manuscript as a gift to the ruling monarch, Charles I (r. 1625 1649) in 1627. Arriving in London through the English Ambassador to Istanbul, Codex Alexandrinus became part of the Royal Library. It survived the devastating fire of 1731, when the librarian Richard Bentley (d. 1742) rescued it himself from the flames. RightWayUp Books aims to provide accurate and detailed descriptions.
