Peter Heylin or Heylyn (29 November 1599 – 8 May 1662) was an English ecclesiastic and author of many polemical, historical, political and theological tracts. He incorporated his political concepts into his geographical books ''Microcosmus'' in 1621 and ''Cosmographie'' (1657).〔Robert Mayhew, ''Geography is twinned with divinity''; Geographical Review, Vol 90, No 1, January 2000.〕 ==Life== Heylyn was born in Burford, Oxfordshire, the son of Henry Heylyn and Elizabeth Clampard. He entered Merchant Taylors' School in March 1612.〔(A register of the scholars admitted into Merchant Taylors' School )〕 At 14 he was sent to Hart Hall, Oxford, and matriculated from Magdalen College, Oxford, on 19 January 1616, aged 15. He was awarded BA on 17 October 1617 and was elected a fellow in 1618.〔('Alumni Oxonienses, 1500-1714: Hawten-Hider', Alumni Oxonienses 1500-1714: Abannan-Kyte (1891), pp. 679-705. Date accessed: 15 January 2012 )〕 He lectured on historical geography at Magdalen. Heylyn was awarded MA on 1 July 1620.〔 In 1620 he presented his lecture to Prince Charles, at Theobalds. He was incorporated at Cambridge University in 1621. In 1621 his lectures were published as ''Microcosmos: a Little Description of the Great World''. This would prove to be his most popular work and by 1639, eight editions had been produced. At college, where he was dubbed 'the perpetual dictator’, Heylin had been an outspoken controversialist.〔 He subsequently became an outspoken preacher and one of Charles I's clerical followers. He was awarded BD on 13 June 1629. In 1630 he lectured against the Feoffees for Impropriations.〔Royce MacGillivray; (Restoration Historians and the English Civil War ), Springer, 1974, ISBN 90-247-1678-0.〕 He became licensed canon of Westminster in 1631 and rector of Hemingford, Huntingdonshire, in the same year. He became rector of Houghton-le-Spring, county Durham, in 1632 and rector of Alresford, Hampshire, in 1633. Also in 1633 he was licensed to preach and was awarded D.D. on 13 April 1633. He became a chaplain to Charles I. In 1639 he became rector South Warnborough, Hampshire.〔 He suffered for his loyalty to the king when, under the Commonwealth, he was deprived of his preferments. He subsequently settled at Lacies Court in Abingdon, Berkshire (now Oxfordshire). At the Restoration, he was made sub-Dean of Westminster, but poor health prevented further advancement. He married Letitia Highgate and had a large family. His monument is in Westminster Abbey. 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「Peter Heylin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
