Johann Gottfried von Meiern (1664-1721) was a German lawyer and historian. In 1718 he became Professor extraordinarius of law at the University of Giessen. His professorship at Giessen was short-lived due to conflict with his colleagues over his belief in the theory of natural law. He returned to his hometown of Bayreuth in 1720. Von Meiern (aka Meyern) is probably best known for his contribution to the "Acta Pacis Westphalicae" from 1734. Very good .
