AB  - This exploration of the controversial polymath scholar Marcus Meibom (1630-1711) sheds new light on aspects of his scientific and philological achievements within the fields of mathematics, music, ancient history, biblical text criticism, manuscript collecting, and maritime history. Little-known to the general readership today, Meibom was famous in the erudite early-modern world for his groundbreaking work in Greek philology and music theory.
