KUS'TER (Ludolf), a very learned writer, was born in 
1670 at Blomberg in Weftphalia. When very young, he 
was, upon the recommendation of baron Spanheim, ap¬ 
pointed tutor to the two ions of count Schwerin, prime 
minifter of the king of Pruflia, who, upon our author’s 
quitting that Ration, procured him a penfion of four hun¬ 
dred livres. He was pro mi fed a profeflbrftiip in the uni- 
smrfity of Joachim ; and till this fhould be vacant, being 
then but twenty-five years of age, he relolved to travel. 
He read-iedtures at Utrecht; went to England, and from 
thence to France, where he collated Suidas with three ma- 
r.ufcripts in the king’s library, which furnifhed him with 
s great many fragments that had never been publilhed. 
He was honoured with the degree of LL.D. by the uni- 
verfity of Cambridge, which made him feveral advan¬ 
tageous offers to continue there; but he was called to Ber¬ 
lin, where he was inftalled in the profeflbrftiip promifed 
liim. Afterwards he went to Antwerp; and, being 
brought over to the Catholic religion, he abjured that of 
the Proteftants, The king of France rewarded him with 
a penfion, and ordered him to be admitted fupernumerary 
ftflbciate of the Academy of Infcriptions. He enjoyed this, 
however, a very ftiort time; dying in 1716, at the age of 
^forty-fix. He was a great mafter of the Latin tongue, and 
.yyrote well in it; but his chief excellence was his verbal
