in a copy of Latin verses on the founding of the university 
of Utrecht, in 1636. Some of her letters were published, 
and in 1641, was printed part of her Latin Dissertation, 
“ Whether the Study of Literature was suitable to a Christian 
Woman.” After this she published her “ Opuscula,” con¬ 
sisting of pieces in prose and verse, in different languages. 
She now became a zealous follower of the mystic and en¬ 
thusiast Labadie; whom she accompanied in his various 
migrations, and it was in her arms that he breathed his 
last, at Altona. After his death she sold her property, and 
took up her abode with an association of religionists of the 
same connection, at Wywert, near Leuwarden. Here she 
died, in 1678. Her “ Opuscula” have been frequently re¬ 
printed. 
SCHURTZFLEISCH (Conrad-Samuel), a man ofletters, 
was born in 1641, at Corbach, in the county of Waldeck. 
He studied at his native place, at Giessen, and Wittenberg, 
and for some time taught in a school at Corbach, in the 
room of his father, after which he went to Leipsic, and en¬ 
gaged in private tuition ; and in 1671 he obtained the pro¬ 
fessorship extraordinary of history, at Wittenberg. In 1678 
he was promoted to the ordinary professorship of history in 
that place, to which was afterwards added that of Greek. 
He passed some time in foreign travel, and in 1700 he was 
appointed professor of eloquence at Wittenberg. He was 
also librarian to the duke of Saxe-Weimar, with the title of 
counsellor. He died in ] 708. This learned man was author 
of a great number of works, of which the following may be 
mentioned: “ Disputationes Historic® civiles,” 3 vols. 4to.; 
“ Epistote arcanse,” 3 vols. 8vo.; and a continuation of 
Sleiden’s work, “ De Qualuor Imperiis.” A satirical piece, 
which he wrote when he was young, entitled “ Judicium 
de novissimis Prudentias civilis Scriptoribus,” occasioned 
considerable commotion among the learned, and in the end 
caused his name to be struck out from the list of members 
of the university of Wittenberg. In 1744, a collection of 
his Dissertations on ecclesiastical history was published at 
Wittenberg. 
SCHUSCHKINA, a village of Irkoutsk, in Asiatic 
Russia; 38 miles north-north-east of Orlenga. 
SCHUT (Cornelius), was born at Antwerp, in 1600, and 
being possessed of a lively and inventive genius, was edu¬ 
cated as.a painter. He was placed as a disciple with Rubens, 
and became one of the principal ornaments of the school of 
that celebrated master. When he had acquired sufficient 
power to practise by himself, he was employed for the altais 
of several churches; and by the works he produced, ob¬ 
tained very considerable reputation: sufficient, unfortunately, 
to render him vain and presumptuous. To such a degree did 
his vanity urge him, that he offered himself as a rival to his 
great instructor; criticising his works with contumacious illi- 
berality, and accusing him of want of invention and genius! 
His rashness was reproved by the gentleness of Rubens, who 
returned his railings with acts of kindness and liberality, 
applauding his pictures, and recommending him to employ¬ 
ment. 
The qualities of Schut, as an artist, were considerable; at 
least as far as the executive part of the art is concerned. He 
had a fertile and vivid imagination, which, however, he did 
not always exercise with discretion ; being evidently much 
more intent upon producing a pleasing arrangement of light 
and colour, than interesting the mind, or engaging the heart: 
following, indeed, too closely the most prominent features of 
the school in which he had been educated. His talents had 
most ample field for employment, which he used with con¬ 
siderable success in the frescoes he painted in the cupola of 
the cathedral at Antwerp, and other large works of that 
nature, in this, his native city. Besides abundance of altar- 
pieces, he painted many historical subjects, his representa¬ 
tions of which are scattered about in various collections, 
and, doubtless, not unfrequently offered to sale as the work 
of Rubens. He died at Antwerp, in 1660, at the age of 60. 
This artist etched a considerable number of plates from his 
own designs, which are skilfully executed, with great- clear¬ 
ness and precision.
