Everard Scheidius

Everard Scheidius (also: Scheid; * December 24, 1742 in Arnhem , † April 27, 1794 in Leiden ) was a Dutch Reformed theologian, philologist and orientalist.

Life

The son of Jan Philips Scheidius, studied theology at the University of Groningen with Nicolaus Wilhelm Schroeder (1721–1798) and at the University of Leiden with Jan Jacob Schultens (1716–1778). During that time he had developed a particular fondness for oriental languages. After 1765 in Leiden for a doctor of theology doctorate , he had accepted a position as associate professor of oriental languages at the University of Harderwijk , which office he 1766 with the speech de abusu dialect. Oriental. in solida codic. Hebrew interpretatione non admittenda .

In 1767 he became a full professor of the oriental languages, which office he lit with the speech oratio de fontibus. Arabicae in usum disciplinarum began. In 1769 he was rector of the Alma Mater and on the same day took over the professorship for philological-exegetical theology of the Old Testament. In 1780 the professorship was expanded to include the New Testament. After Herman Tollius (1742-1822) left the Harderwijker Hochschule in 1776, he also held the chair of the Greek language, before a successor for this position was found in Cornelis Willem de Rhoer .

After he was re-elected rector of the Harderwijker Hochschule in 1782, he moved to the University of Leiden after Schultens' death in 1793, as his successor and he gave the speech Oratio de eo quod Schultensii post immortalia erga literas orientales merita posteris to his former teacher agendum reliquerint (Leiden 1794). Scheidius, who was ailing long before his Leiden calling, the new burden became too much and he died of overwork.

Scheidius had continued an Arabic language teaching according to Nikolaus Wilhelm Schröder's Programma academicum de antiqua linguae arabicae origine , as well as a grammatical encyclopedia of the Greek language (Etymologicum Linguae Graecae) by Johann Daniel van Lennep (1724–1771) and continued a lexicon of Hebrew and Caldic typography ( Lexicon Hebraico-Chaldaicum manuale) , which was revised after his death in 1805 and 1810. He edited the Samaritan text of the five books of Moses . and had made a great contribution to an extensive collection of manuscripts which he knew how to obtain from the Orient.
