The Pietist, August Hermann Francke (1663-1727) was a German Lutheran Pietist clergyman, philanthropist, and Biblical scholar. He ranks high also in the history of education, owing to the establishment (1695) of his orphan asylum, around wh ich he grouped various institutions suited to the needs of teachers and pupils. He also turned his attention to foreign missions; the Pietists promoted the dissemination of the Bible through the establishment (1710), by Freiherr von Canstein, of a bible house at the Halle orphan asylum, where the orphans were taught the important trades of printing and binding.
