Life
The son of a school principal studied since December 10, 1650 at the University of Wittenberg and on April 26, 1652 acquired the academic degree of a master's degree . After completing his studies, he returned home and got his father's job. In 1661 he worked in the same position in Wohlau , in 1663 he went to Bojanova in Poland to found an evangelical provincial school. To finance the project he traveled to Wittenberg and Holland .
On returning to Bojanova, however, he got into an argument with his Protestant co-religionists and went to Stockholm as the principal of the German school . From there he moved to Vilnius in Lithuania in 1674 , where he worked as a pastor. Because of denominational disputes, he was relieved of his office in 1675 and then stayed in Königsberg (Prussia) and Danzig . He again obtained a pastor's position in Graudenz, where he also died.
Herbinius rendered outstanding services to the Polish Evangelical Church and became known through many writings. He translated Martin Luther's little catechism , the Confessio Augustana and several hymns into the Polish language .
