Franz van den Zype

Franz van den Zype , Latinized Franziskus Zypaeus (also: Frans van der Zypen, François van der Sypen), (* 1580 in Mechelen ; † November 4, 1650 in Antwerp ) was a Flemish canon and canon lawyer .

He came from a Catholic patrician family. Because of the unrest in his native city, he had to be baptized in Antwerp. He first studied philosophy in Leuven , received his master's degree there in 1599 and then devoted himself to jurisprudence there. The Bishop of Antwerp, Jean le Mire ( Miraeus ) called him as its secretary and canon. In 1604 he was appointed doctor of law in Leuven. He remained in the ecclesiastical administration and became apostolic protonotary , and finally episcopal vicar general . He wrote a number of significant canonical works, which, contrary to the current trend , which in the Flemish-Dutch area at that time was more attached to Gallicanism , proves him to be strictly faithful to Rome.
