Jacobus Perizonius was born as the son of Anton Perizonius (1626–1672), who was known during his lifetime for his work De ratione studii theologici . He studied at the University of Utrecht , where he received his doctorate in 1679 with the writing Dissertationum Trias .

Johann Georg Graevius and Nikolaes Heinsius the Elder took care of the appointment to the University of Leiden . Perizonius taught there until his death in 1715. He dealt with different epochs of history, for example in his work Rerum per Europam maxime gestarum ab ineunte saeculo sectodecimo usque ad Caroli V. mortem (1719) and gave the work Minerva sive de causis linguae latinae by Francisco Sánchez de las Brozas (1523–1600). His most important work was Animadversiones historicae (1685), where he explained the basics of a historical criticism more than 100 years before Barthold Georg Niebuhr's epochal lectures on Roman history.
