Petræus was lecturer and Dean of the grammar school in Turku. He was also the first professor of theology at Turku Academy and Rector of the University. Petraeus was from the Swedish-speaking part of Sweden, but well versed in the Finnish language. He, among other things, led a Bible Translation Committee and published the first grammar of the Finnish language, Linguae Finnicae brevis institutio in 1649.[1] On October 20, 1652 he was appointed Bishop of Turku and was consecrated on October 24 at the Storkyrkan in Stockholm.
