Hendrik Willem Tydeman

Hendrik Willem Tydeman also: Henrik Willem Tijdeman, Henricus Gulielmus Tydeman (born August 25, 1778 in Utrecht , † March 6, 1863 in Leiden ) was a Dutch lawyer and political scientist.

Life

Henrik Willem was the son of Meinard Tydeman the Elder and his second wife Sohia Theodora de Beveren (born April 1, 1751 in Utrecht; † April 5, 1789 ibid.). At the age of seven he had attended the Latin school in Utrecht and when his father went to Harderwijk in 1787 he attended the Latin school there. At the age of nine he had already attended lectures at the University of Harderwijk . He was particularly interested in the lectures on mathematics given by Bernardus Nieuhoff (1747–1831), general history given by Cornelis Willem de Rhoer and the catechism given by Johann Hermann Schacht . After his father got a job in Overijssel in 1790, Hendrik Willem attended the Latin school in Kampen , which he left in June 1792 with a speech from Carolo Magno .

On September 18, 1792 he moved to the Illustrious School in Deventer , where he attended the law lectures with Fredericus Saxe (1759-1830) until 1795 . He then spent a year training with his father. In 1796 he moved to the University of Groningen , where he attended the lectures of Johannes Cannegieter (1731-1804) and Ludwig Conrad Schroeder (1724-1801) as a law student . But other branches of science also interested him. So he frequented the philosophical lectures of Johannes Ruardi (1746-1815), astronomy, physics and mathematics he followed with Jacob Baart de la Faille (1757-1823), logic with Jan Bosman (1750-1804) and he learned Italian. In the following year he moved to the University of Leiden , where he enrolled on September 18, 1797 in the matriculation of the university. In Leiden it was above all Dionysius Godefridus van der Keessel who gave him extensive potential in the legal sciences. He also attended the lectures on political economy and statistics given by Adrian Kluit .

After he had also attended the lectures of other legal scholars, he passed his legal exam in December 1797 and received his doctorate on October 23, 1799 with the treatise de rebus judicatis non rescindendis (Leiden 1799) as a doctor of law. He then became a lawyer in Kampen and, at the instigation of van der Keessel, he was supposed to go to Harderwijk University as a professor in 1800, but this position was given to Joan Melchior Kemper . In 1801 he was offered a position as the Council of Justice in Batavia, which he did not accept, because in 1802 he was appointed professor of rights at the illustrious school in Deventer for a salary of 850 guilders.

He took on this task on June 3, 1802 with the speech de eo quod nimium est in studio Juris Romani and from September on he completed lectures on legal history and the institutes. He soon made a name for himself, for on March 17, 1803 he was appointed professor of law at the University of Franeker for a salary of 1,700 guilders. Here he began his task on June 13, 1803 with the inaugural address de Jure Romano Justinianeo, per benignam Dei providentiam, ad salutem generis humani opportune instaurato (Franeker 1803). His lectures dealt with Roman legal history, institutes and pandects, and from 1810 he had also explained the Code Napoleon. A fruitful literary phase began in Franeker, during which he published, among other things, in 1808 under the pseudonym Eusebius Belga . After Eelco Tinga (1762-1828) had changed to the University of Groningen as rector of the university, Tydeman took over in February 1805 with a speech Allocutio whose handover of the rector's council to Johannes Henricus Swildens (1745-1809). In Franeker he was in their last two terms of office from May 1, 1810 to January 24, 1812 rector of the Alma Mater. When the university teaching in Franeker was closed, Tydeman received a pension of 1000 guilders. He moved to Leeuwarden , where he made a living as a lawyer and sworn translator. On July 6, 1812, he was appointed professor of law at the University of Leiden, where he was to teach the Code Napoleon. Had been active in Leiden from 1813. After the restoration of the Leiden University, on October 16, 1815, he was commissioned by royal resolution to teach the encyclopedia of law, state budgeting, statistics, legal history and commercial law. In his function as a university lecturer in Leiden, he also took part in the organizational tasks of the educational institution and was rector of the alma mater in 1825/26 and 1845/46 . For this purpose he had the academic speeches Sermo habitus on February 8, 1826, quum munere Academico abiret and Fragmenta sermonis a decedente Rectore Magnifico Academiae Lugd when resigning from office.
