Georg Christoph Stirn (1616 - 1669)
Stirn was a student when he travelled to Switzerland, France, England, and Holland in 1638. Although he does not explicitly identify himself in his travel diary, at the end of his manuscript he describes himself as "preparing his disputatio inauguralis for the degree of Doctor Juris Utriusque at the University of Altorf for the following year [1641] when he will be aged 25 years" (transl. H. Hager (1887), p. 445). On the basis of this information, Dr. Neubauer identifies the traveller/author as Stirn (Athenaeum, 17 May 1884, p.632).
