Johann Heinrich Alsted (March 1588 – November 9, 1638), "the true parent of all the Encyclopædias",[1] was a German-born Transylvanian Saxon Calvinist minister and academic, known for his varied interests: in Ramism and Lullism, pedagogy and encyclopedias, theology and millenarianism. His contemporaries noted that an anagram of Alstedius was sedulitas, meaning "hard work" in Latin.[2]
