Carpzov
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carpzov is the name of a family, many of whose members attained distinction in Saxony in the 17th and 18th centuries as jurists, theologians and statesmen. The family traced its origin to Simon Carpzov, who was burgomaster of Brandenburg in the middle of the 16th century, and who left two sons, Joachim (d. 1628), master-general of the ordnance in the service of the Christian IV of Denmark, and Benedikt (1565-1624), an eminent jurist.
