Marcus Fronius (1659 – 14 April 1713) was a Lutheran theologian, pedagogue, and author whose published works covered topics such as theology, metaphysics, and humoral physiology.[1][2][3][4]
Fronius, a Transylvanian Saxon, was born in Neustadt, Siebenbürgen, and studied under the tutelage of Johann Deutschmann and Abraham Calovius, obtaining an M.Th. from the University of Wittenberg in 1682.[1]
He was also a poet and musician of some note, having composed pieces to accompany the Lutheran Mass; and was said to have had "extraordinary skill in drawing and in the Latin language."[2] He died in Kronstadt, Siebenbürgen.
