Overlijden van Johannes Clericus, theoloog en hoogleraar in de wijsbegeerte, kerkgeschiedenis en Hebreeuws aan de Remonstrantse kweekschool te Amsterdam 1736

This silver medal, created by Jean Dassier in 1736, commemorates the death of Johannes Clericus, a prominent theologian, philosopher, and scholar. The obverse features a bust portrait of Clericus in profile, while the reverse displays an inscription detailing his accomplishments and birthdate. The medal serves as a testament to Clericus’s contributions to the Remonstrant Seminary in Amsterdam, where he taught philosophy, church history, and Hebrew. Dassier’s detailed and realistic portraiture, combined with the inscription’s eloquent praise, captures Clericus’s scholarly legacy and the respect he held within his field. This small, yet significant, medal stands as a miniature monument to a prominent figure in the history of theological and philosophical thought.
