Aegidius Salius
Aegidius Salius , also: Egidius Hupffauff Hupfauf (* around 1536 in Görkau ; † October 3, 1580 in Jena ), was a Bohemian physicist and mathematician .
Life
Salius matriculated on October 12, 1555 as Egidius Hupffauff at the University of Wittenberg . Here he completed a degree in philosophical sciences. At that time Esrom Rüdinger and Paul Eber taught physics in Wittenberg , Sebastian Theodoricus and Caspar Peucer taught mathematics, and Philipp Melanchthon taught dialectical logic and ethics. During his training he took the scholarly name Salius and on September 18, 1559 acquired the academic degree of a master's degree in philosophical sciences. In the same year he moved to the University of Jena , where he was appointed to the Senate of the Faculty of Philosophy and, in the summer semester of 1562, was appointed professor of mathematics and physics.
Due to his sympathy for the ideas of his former teacher Melanchthon, he was drawn into synergetic theological disputes in 1569. Therefore, he resigned his professorship in the same year. In 1572 he returned to his Jena professorship, where he taught until the end of his life. In his capacity as a Jena university lecturer, he also participated in the university's organizational tasks. In the winter semesters 1565 and 1573 he was dean of the philosophical faculty and in the summer semester 1569 rector of the alma mater . In addition, in the winter semester of 1574 he was the equivalent prorector.
