Antonius Hulsius

Antonius Hulsius also: Anton Hüls ; (* Late 1615 in Hilden , in the Hagdorn house ; † February 27, 1685 in Leiden ) was a German philologist and Reformed theologian.

Life

The son of Anton Hulsius and his wife Catharina von Venne were taken in by his brother Wilhelm in Wesel after the death of his mother . At the local school he laid the first foundations for his training.

In 1635 he moved to the Illustre grammar school in Deventer , where he - under the guidance of Nikolaus Vedelius (1596–1642) - dealt with the Hebrew language and theological issues. Since the plague broke out in Deventer in 1636, he made trips to Paris, London, Cambridge and Oxford, where he studied the respective national languages ​​and advanced his further training.

He began his studies in 1638 at the University of Geneva , where he was accepted into the house of Friedrich Spanheim the Elder and gave his first sermons at the German church there. He continued his further studies in 1642 at the University of Groningen and in 1643 at the University of Leiden . After a first job in Amsterdam , he became pastor of the French community in Breda in 1644 . Here he took part in the development of the community with devotion, in 1644 he took over a professorship for languages ​​at the Illustre grammar school and in 1663 he was also rector of the Latin school there. In 1650 he wrote his first work Nomenclator biblicus hebraeo-latinus in Breda . After further works, including theological ones, he took part in the Synod in Middelburg in May 1666, in Naarden in September 1668 and in Haarlem in April 1660.

In dealing with representatives of other faith currents, he increasingly distinguished himself as a representative of the orthodox wing of Reformed theology in the Netherlands. Above all, his confrontation with the mystic and pietist separatist Jean de Labadie should be emphasized. At the instigation of Spanheim he was appointed regent of the States College at the University of Leiden on July 21, 1668. Here he also received the extraordinary professorship for Hebrew on August 21, 1668, and on January 16, 1676 he became a full professor of theology and the chair of the Hebrew language. The last years of his life were mainly characterized by arguments with Johannes Coccejus and Abraham Heidanus . Above all, his works on the Hebrew and Greek languages ​​have gained importance in posterity. He also took part in the organizational tasks of the Leiden University. In 1680 he was dean of the theological faculty and in 1683/84 rector of the alma mater .

Hulsius married Agnes Elisabeth Rumpf, daughter of the physician Christian Rumpf (* 1580 Laasphe, † June 24, 1645 The Hague) and his wife Agneta de Spina in The Hague in January 1645. The marriage resulted in ten children, of whom only four sons survived. Willem became pastor in Vlissingen, Paul was pastor in Middelburg and became professor of theology in Groningen, Johannes was pastor in Oost-Souburg and Adrian Kaufmann in Vlissingen.
