Albertus Rusius

Albertus Rusius (also: Albert Ketwich Rusius, Albert Ruse, Rus ; born November 14, 1614 in Emmen , † December 19, 1678 in Leiden ) was a Dutch legal scholar.

Life

The son of pastor Johannes Rusius (1591-1655) and his wife Euphemia Ketwich, was a brother of Henrik Ruse and the preacher in Sleen Bernhard Rusius (born September 15, 1616 in Assen, † October 19, 1664 in Sleen). His ancestors came from the east of France and had fled to Bentheim as Huguenots because of religious persecution . It was here that his great-grandfather Bernardus and grandfather Heinrich began to work as pastors. In his early childhood, Rusius grew up with his maternal grandmother. After his father continued his activity as a Remonstrant in ruins in 1623 , he is likely to have attended the school he initiated in the province of Drenthe here.

On December 15, 1633 he began his studies at the University of Groningen . On August 15, 1635 he moved to the University of Franeker , attended the Illustre grammar school in Deventer on May 22, 1639 and continued his studies on June 25, 1640 at the University of Leiden . He then traveled through England and France, where he received his doctorate in law from the University of Orléans in 1643 . He then moved to Amsterdam. In 1644 he worked as a lawyer at the Dutch court. On April 6, 1646 he was, as the successor to Joannes Cabeljauw (1600-1652), at the Athenaeum Illustre in Amsterdam Professor of Law.

On March 11, 1659, the curators of the Leiden University appointed him Professor of Law with the teaching assignment of the institutes. He began this activity on September 16, 1659 with the Rede de Jenuna quorundam et barbara juris compendiaria (Leiden 1659). On May 22, 1668 he changed to the chair of the Pandects and from August 8, 1668 he taught feudal law. In his capacity as a university lecturer in Leiden, he also participated in the organizational tasks of the university and was rector of the Alma Mater in 1667/68 and 1672/73 . Rusius had written a lot, but only one disputation de Servitutibus was printed. Many disputes with medical content bear his name. However, he has less involvement in this, as they were created exclusively during his rector's time in Leiden.

His body was buried in the Pieterskirche in Leiden.

family

Rusius was married twice. His first marriage was on July 22nd, 1648 with Maria Terburg from Groningen, who died young after giving birth. On June 27, 1653 he married Maria de Vogelaer (* 1625 - October 28, 1678), the daughter of Marcus de Vogelaer and his second wife Catharina de Velaer.
