Cornelius Tollius

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cornelius Tollius (also: Toll ; * around 1628 in Rhenen ; † June 13, 1654 in Gouda ) was a Dutch historian and philologist.

Life

The son of Johann Tollius and Maria Gordan had probably learned from Gerhard Johann Vossius at the Athenaeum in Amsterdam and studied at the University of Utrecht . Together with the son of his former teacher Isaac , he went to Stockholm , where he accused him of stealing his writings.

Presumably on the recommendation of Johann Friedrich Gronovius , the Graecist Tollius became extraordinary professor of history and the Greek language and secretary of the curators at the University of Harderwijk on April 12, 1648 .

In 1654 he became a full professor of history, political science and geography. He was an acquaintance of Georgius Hornius . On March 5 of the same year he married the mayor's daughter Magarethe Kent.

Cornelius Tollius died in June 1654 in the city of Gouda.
