Carolus Segaar (also: Karl Segaar ; born January 26, 1724 in Leiden ; † December 22, 1803 in Utrecht ) was a Dutch philologist and Reformed theologian.

Life

Segaar's father came from a venerable family in Emden and his mother's name was Tenna Elydia Heykens. At the age of 18 he enrolled at the University of Leiden on September 13, 1741 , and defended a treatise de precibus Christi in Gethsemane (Leiden 1746. 2 part.) There in 1746 . After he had appeared there as a proponent, he went to Benthuizen as a pastor in 1747 and was awarded a doctorate in theology. In 1749 he moved in the same capacity to Goes , in November 1752 to Groningen and in 1759 became pastor in Utrecht.

Here it appealed the curators of Utrecht University on July 28, 1766 as a professor of Greek at the theological faculty, which office he on 25 September 1766 of the speech de egregiis fructibus, qui ex adsidua auctorum Graecorum lectione ad oraculorum divinorum interpretem redundant took . On December 27, 1780, he was also given the chair for the New Testament and on June 11, 1788, he received an honorary doctorate from the theological faculty. He resigned the professorship for the New Testament in April 1799, but continued to hold the chair for the Greek language until his retirement on October 24, 1803.

In his capacity as a Utrecht university lecturer, he also took part in the organizational tasks as rector of the Alma Mater in 1771/72 and 1784/85 . Segaar was one of the best interpreters of the Bible of his time. He dealt with works by Hugo Grotius and Ludwig Kaspar Valkenaer (1715–1785). In 1786 he became a member of the Dutch Society of Sciences in Haarlem and in 1794 a member of the Batavanian Society for Experimental Philosophy in Rotterdam.

The pastor in Rynzaterwoude Jacobus Segaar and his daughter Elizabeth Maria Segaar are known from his marriage.
