Jacobus Trigland the Younger

Jacobus Trigland the Younger (born May 8, 1652 in Haarlem , † September 22, 1705 in Leiden ) was a Dutch Reformed theologian and philologist.

Life

Jacobus Trigland the Younger was the son of the theologian Jacobus Triglandus and Johanna de Marees (born April 23, 1632 in Amsterdam; † November 1665), daughter of the respected and wealthy merchant in Amsterdam Jan de Marees (born May 22, 1596) and his wife Elisabeth Schilder (* 1609 - † September 22, 1648 in Amsterdam).

He lost both parents in the same month when he was only eleven years old. Then his uncle Cornelis Trigland (1609–1672) took over the supervision of him, but his mother's brother Daniel de Marces also supported the orphan. He laid his first educational foundations at the Latin School in Amsterdam, which was then under the direction of the Rector Adriaan Junius. Here he had studied the Latin and Greek languages.

He began his studies at the University of Harderwijk , where he enrolled on September 20, 1667 in the matriculation of the university. He continued his studies on February 19, 1669 at the University of Leiden . Here he had attended Antonius Hulsius' lectures in the oriental and ancient languages ​​and later devoted himself to studying theology under Abraham Heidanus , Christophorus Wittichius (1625–1687) and Friedrich Spanheim . In 1676 he became a candidate for the ecclesiastical ministry and in early 1677 he got a pastor's position in the village of Uithoorn . Soon, however, word got around about his good qualities as a pastor. So in 1678 he accepted another pastorate in Breda , followed a call as pastor to Utrecht in 1680 and went to Leiden as pastor in 1681. Due to his high theological education, the curators of the Leiden University decided on February 8, 1686 to appoint him as the successor to Antonius Hulsius as professor of theology in the faculty of the Leiden University.

Like his grandfather Jacobus Trigland the Elder, he had achieved this highly respected position in Leiden. For this he was made an honorary doctor of theology on March 19, 1686. Yet he was not, like his grandfather, a controversial theologian of Reformed Dutch theology. Rather, he tried to find a balance between the various currents of Reformed theology and had good relations with Wilhelm III. of Orange . Nevertheless, he has made a name for himself less as a theologian than as an excellent philologist. After he had also participated in the organizational tasks of the university as rector of the alma mater in 1689/90 and 1699/00 , he was also appointed professor of the Hebrew language at the Leiden university on December 24, 1701. He entered this office on January 23, 1702 with the introductory speech de orgine causis rituum Mosaicorum . His library was sold after his death in 1706.

Trigland was married twice.

His first marriage was in Breda in 1681 with Isabelle Sophie de Geer († 1691) from Amsterdam, the daughter of Laurens de Geer and his wife Margarite Cromom. The marriage resulted in two sons and six daughters, of whom one son and four daughters survived the father. The son Jacob studied law. Johanna Sophie Trigland is known from the daughters, who married Cornelis van dem Brande. Margaretha Christina Trigland was the first wife of the city council and later mayor of Leiden Johann Friedrich Gronovius (* March 10, 1690, † 1760). We also know Juliane Louise Trigland and Elisabeth Constanze Trigland.

He concluded his second marriage in 1699 with Susanne Loten, the daughter of the dichgrave in Beemster Jan Looten and his wife Apollonie Seleins, widow of the shipper from Amsterdam Pieter Hulst. She brought her son Jan Hulst into the marriage, who later studied law.
