Life

The son of the councilor and head of the hospital in Sprottau Georg Preibisius and Dorothea Seliger began to study philosophy at the University of Leipzig in 1599 after attending grammar schools in Brieg and Breslau and the Jesuit college in Olomouc . There he heard lectures by Matthaeus Dresser (1536–1607), Johann Curtius (after 1560–1622), Johannes Neldel (1554–1612), Johannes Friedrich and also took private tutors. At the end of September 1600 he acquired the degree of a Baccalaureus and on January 28, 1602 became a master of philosophy. After taking part in disputations , he was admitted to the Philosophical Faculty as an assessor in 1607 . His further interest was then the medical sciences.

In order to do his doctorate , Preibisius wanted to go to the University of Basel , but shortly before his departure in 1612 he was appointed professor of practical philosophy in Leipzig. In 1613 he became a member of the Lesser Princely College , in 1617 he also took over the professorship in physics, was accepted as a member of the Great Princely College in the same year and, in 1619, found access to the women's college as a member . Since his medical ambitions did not find the desired progress, he turned to legal studies. He attended the lectures of Michael Wirth the Elder (1547–1611), Franz Romanus (1550–1636), Elias Heidenreich and Michael Wirth . On March 23, 1615 he was awarded a Bachelor's degree in law and he was on 14 March 1616 to the doctor of law doctorate.

After he was appointed Count Palatinate ( Comes Palatinus ) by Emperor Ferdinand II in 1629 , he found access to the Faculty of Law as an assessor in 1630, of which he later became a senior. On December 10, 1627 he was raised to the hereditary knighthood (see letter of arms) in Prague together with his brothers Mag. Johannes Preibisius ( pastor in Contzendorf ) and Georg Preibisius ( councilor in Sprottau ). Since his nobility diploma had been destroyed by Swedish troops in Sprottau during the Thirty Years' War , Emperor Ferdinand II expanded it in 1636. Preibisius had also taken part in the organizational tasks of the Leipzig University. For example, he was dean of the Faculty of Philosophy three times and Pro Chancellor twice . In the winter semesters of 1630 and 1650 he was rector of the University of Leipzig.

During his last term in office he suffered pleurisy, from which he died as the first rector in office since the university was founded. With great sympathy from the teaching staff of the Leipzig University, he was buried on March 7, 1651 in the Paulinerkirche in Leipzig .
