Cluverius [=Cluver, Klüwer] had intended to study law, but after an adventurous youth, and swayed by the teaching of Joseph Scaliger, he spent the rest of his life studying geography and history. His work is of importance for the development of geographical theory, and he is considered the founder of the science of historical geography.
