Johann Abraham Avenarius was born in Rochlitz, the son of unknown father. His stepfather was Elias Seyer (Rector in Döbeln). He enrolled at the Thomasschule in Leipzig on May 7, 1733; studied there from 1733 to 1739, since October 24, 1732 already as external; and at Universität Leipzig from 1739. Although he attended the Thomasschule during J.S. Bach's tenure, it is not known if he actually studied with him. After his studies, he was schoolmaster in Thekla, Mockau and Paunsdorf from 1743. |
