Christoph (Keller) Cellarius (22 November 1638 - 1707) was a German classical scholar from Schmalkalden who held positions in Weimar and Halle. Although the term "Middle Ages" (medium aevum) was first arrived at by Italian humanist scholars Leonardo Bruni and Flavio Biondo in the 15th century, Cellarius was the first to use the term systematically in a tripartite division of history, and after him this system became increasingly more standard, as seen in his work Universal History Divided into an Ancient, Medieval, and New Period.
