Adam Boreel (1603 in Middelburg – 1667 in Amsterdam) was a Dutch theologian and Hebrew scholar. He was one of the founders of the Amsterdam College; the Collegiants were also often called Boreelists, and regarded as a small sect. Others involved in the Collegiants were Daniel van Breen, Michiel Coomans, Jacob Otto van Halmael and the Mennonite Galenus Abrahamsz de Haan. Boreel was ordained into the Dutch Reformed Church, but broke away. In ''Ad legem et testimonium'' (1645), he argued the sola scriptura position that no religious authority other than the Bible should be acknowledged.〔(Bornhaeuser, Karl Bernhard )〕 He was attacked by Johann Hornbeek (''Apologia pro ecclesia Christiana non apostatica'' 1647), and by Samuel Maresius.〔()〕 Boreel's associates included Peter Serrarius, a fellow millenarian, Baruch Spinoza, who moved with the Collegiants after exclusion from the Amsterdam Jewish community, and Henry Oldenburg, a correspondent. Boreel was close also to John Dury. They were a fringe group, but are considered important as representative of the 'Third Force', trying to reconcile religious orthodoxy with scientific scepticism.〔Jonathan Israel, ''The Dutch Republic'' (1995), pp. 587-591.〕 In the early 1660s the Collegiants became harder to distinguish from other movements, of Quakers, anti-Trinitarians, and Socinians.〔Israel, p. 913.〕 Boreel took a close interest in Judaism, working with Menasseh Ben Israel and Judah Leon Templo. Projects were a reconstruction of Solomon's Temple and editions of the Mishnah.〔J. T. Young (1998), ''Faith, Alchemy and Natural Philosophy: Johann Moriaen, Reformed Intelligencer, and the Hartlib Circle'', p.47.〕 ==References== *Ernestine G.E. van der Wall, Without Partilitie Towards All Men': John Durie on the Dutch Hebraist Adam Boreel'', pp. 145–150 in J. van den Berg and E.G.E. van den der Wall, eds., Jewish-Christian Relations in the Seventeenth Century, Leiden: Kluwer, 1988 *Ernestine van der Wall, ''The Dutch Hebraist Adam Boreel and the Mishnah Project'', LIAS 16.
