(Christopher), professor of divinity, Greek, and the Oriental tongues, in the university of Giffen, died in the flower of his age in 1617; after having published several books, and projected more. The Hebrew language was so familiar to him, that he spoke it as fluently as his mother tongue. He was not only a good grammarian, but also an able chronologer. His chronological tables have been greatly esteemed, though they are not free from errors.
