Edo Hildericus
Edo Hildericus (also: Hildericus von Varel, Hilderich, Hildebrand ; * 1533 in Jever ; † May 12, 1599 in Altdorf ) was a German historian, mathematician, philologist and Protestant theologian.
Life
Hildericus came from a Frisian noble family and was originally called von Varel. After attending the Protestant school in his hometown, he enrolled at the University of Wittenberg on June 28, 1555 , where he obtained the degree of Master of Philosophy on February 27, 1556 and was accepted into the Senate of the Philosophical Faculty on May 1, 1559. His teachers at that time were among others Philipp Melanchthon , Sebastian Theodoricus and Caspar Peucer .
In 1564 he was appointed professor of mathematics at the University of Jena . He resigned from this position in 1567. In 1569 he enrolled as “M. Edo Hildericus, Jeuerensis ”in Heidelberg, then went back to Wittenberg, where he was dean of the Faculty of Philosophy in 1570. In 1573 he became rector of the old town high school in Magdeburg and went from there to the University of Frankfurt (Oder) in 1575 , where he became professor of history and the Hebrew language in 1577.
When the Reformed theologians were expelled from Heidelberg University in 1578 , he went there as second professor of theology and the Hebrew language. He received his PhD within a year. Because he did not want to sign the formula of the Agreement , he was removed from this office. On June 3, 1581, he went to Altdorf University as a professor of theology . He was the first rector of the academy there in 1582 and was appointed professor of the Hebrew language there in 1584.
