Antonius Thysius (1565–1640) was a Dutch Reformed theologian, professor at the University of Harderwijk and University of Leiden. ==Life== He was born on 9 August 1565 in Antwerp, and received a classical education under Bonaventura Vulcanius. In 1581 he followed his teacher to Leiden, where he studied theology under Lambertus Danaeus; Danaeus left for Ghent after a year, and Thysius spent some years travelling, to Frankenthal, Geneva where he was taught by Theodore Beza, then other Swiss cities, and Strasbourg. He was for four years in Heidelberg, and in 1589 went on to England, where he heard in Oxford and Cambridge William Whitaker and John Rainolds. On 12 August 1590 he returned to Leiden and briefly lectured in Haarlem. There his father's death called him to Frankfurt.〔:de:s:ADB:Thysius, Antonius〕 Then for a time Thysius travelled through northern Germany visiting scholars: Danzig, Rostock, Stade, Emden and to Groningen. In 1594 coming to Amsterdam, he worked as assistant preacher, but then again set off, this time to France. After several years away, particularly in Montpellier and Toulouse, he returned in 1600 to Leiden. There he renewed earlier friendships with Franciscus Gomarus, Lucas Trelcatius, Franciscus Junius the Elder, Scaliger and Franciscus Raphelengius.〔 With a recommendation from Gomarus, Thysius in 1601 was recruited for the theological faculty at the University of Harderwijk, where he remained for 18 years as a moderate Calvinist teacher; though opposed to Jacobus Arminius, he did not follow the hardline Gomarists. At the 1618 Synod of Dort he was among the theological delegates, and appointed an examiner of the Bible translation and of Old Testament. Shortly after the Synod he received from the Curators of Leiden University a call as a professor for theology and began this post on 10 December 1619 with his ''Oratio de theologia ejusque studios capessendo''.〔 He died on 7 November 1640.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Antonius Thysius the Elder」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
