(Eilhard), was professor of poetry in the university of Rostock in 1595; and ten years after, was promoted to the professorship of divinity. He wrote notes on Anacreon, Juvenal, Persius, &c. and several other works; but that which made the most noise is a Treatise on the nature and origin of evil, intitled, Phosphorus de causa prima et natura mali, printed at Rostock in 1596; in which we have a curious hypothesis to account for the origin of moral evil. He supposed two co-essential principles; not matter and va- Lublin, as Epicurus did; but God, and Nihilum or Nothing. This being published against by Grawer, was defended by Lubin; but after all, he is deemed better acquainted with polite literature than with divinity. He died in 1621.
