Johannes Funguerius or Johann Funger (1546-1612) was a humanist from Frisia, a region in the north of the Netherlands. He studied at the Collegium Trilingue, Leuven and in Cologne. He was a doctor of both (civil and canon) laws, but especially, a teacher at the Latin Grammar Schools in his native Frisia. He was an admirer of Cicero, Seneca and Quintilian, disciple of Agricola and Erasmus, Melanchthon and Calvin. He is the author of 16 works, most of which were on philology and were published in the Netherlands, France, Germany and Italy. This paper analyzes a pedagogical treatise: "De puerorum disciplina et recta educatione liber" ("Book on the Discipline and Right Education of Young Boys", 1584) published by Plantin Press, Antwerp.
