About Lodewijk Meyer
- Lodewijk Meyer (also Meijer) (bapt.
- 18 October 1629, Amsterdam – buried 25 November 1681, Amsterdam) was a Dutch physician, classical scholar, translator, lexicographer, and playwright.
- He was an Enlightenment radical who was one of the more prominent members of the circle around the philosopher Benedictus de Spinoza. He published an anonymous work, the Philosophia S.
- Scripturae Interpres.
- It was initially attributed to Spinoza, and caused a furore among preachers and theologians, with its claims that the Bible was in many places opaque and ambiguous; and that philosophy was the only criterion for interpretation of cruxes in such passages.
- Just after the death of Meyer his friends revealed that he was the author of the work, which had been banned.
