Erasmus Schmidt (1570-1637) was a German philosopher who gave a lecture in 1602 on the subject of America as Atlantis. This was later added as an appendix to a book, ‘Pindari operacum comment. & Versione’, published by Schmidt in 1616 and translated into German in 1893 by Theodor Wiesehahn from Friederberg.
