Jacobus Elisa Johannes Capitein (born ca. 1717; died 1747) was a Dutch Christian minister of Ghanaian birth who was one of the first known sub-Saharan Africans to study at a European university〔(BlackPast.org: Capitein, Jacobus Elisa Johannes (1717?-1747) )〕 and one of the first Africans to be ordained as a minister in the Dutch Reformed Church.〔(Feinberg, H.M., "Saga of a Slave: Jacobus Capitein of Holland and Elmina". ''African Studies Review''. September 2003 )〕 He is credited with spreading the use of the written word in his native Ghana.〔(World Bank Group, ''World development report 2009: reshaping economic geography'', p.168. World Bank Publications, 2008. )〕 Though a former slave, Capitein wrote a dissertation defending the right of Christians to keep slaves. ==Early years== Capitein, whose African name is unknown, was forcibly taken from his parents in present-day Ghana in 1725, at the age of 8, and sold as a slave to a Dutch captain, Arnold Steenhart. That same year, Steenhart gave him as a present to Jacobus van Goch, a trader of the Dutch West India Company. At the age of 11, in 1728, Capitein was brought to Holland to live with van Goch in The Hague. Van Goch treated him as an adopted son and gave him the last name of Capitein (Dutch for "captain"). Jacobus was placed in school and found to excel in the study of painting, reading and writing, mathematics and the classical languages. Capitein, who was baptized by the Dutch Reformed Church in 1735, let it be known that he wished to return to Africa as a missionary. His adopted father therefore allowed him in 1737 to attend the venerable University of Leiden in order to study theology and become a minister.
