(Theodore), professor of divinity at Zurich in the 16th century. As he undertook the Oriental languages, he set about a new edition of the Koran, the text of which he corrected, by collating the Arabic and Latin copies. To this edition he subjoined the life of Mahomet and his successors; and prefixed an apology by way of preface, which has been loudly exclaimed against.
