Julius van Beyma

Julius van Beyma (* 1542 in Dokkum ; † June 15, 1598 in Leeuwarden ) was a Dutch legal scholar .

Life

The son of the mayor Jan van Beyma and his wife Maycke (or Maria) had received his first school education at the Martinschule in Groningen . Then he moved to the University of Leuven to study law. In 1564 he moved to the University of Orléans , where he obtained the degree of Licentiate in Canon Law and the Baccalaureus of Civil Law on September 20 of the same year. He then returned to his home country as a lawyer in Leeuwarden.

But left his homeland to avoid the persecution of Protestants, which is why he stayed in Germany for ten years. Here he can be proven on January 15, 1572 at the University of Wittenberg , where he apparently taught at the law faculty. As early as 1579 he had taken over the lectures of the institutes of the Wittenberg professor Johannes Lauterbach von Noskowitz (* around 1550-after 1616), which professorship was transferred to him after his departure in 1580. Because he refused to sign the formula of the Agreement in January 1581 , he was dismissed from his position as a university lecturer in Wittenberg.

He then returned to the Netherlands, where he took on an extraordinary professorship limited to one year at the University of Leiden on July 20, 1581 and was appointed full professor of institutes and digests on August 1, 1582. He also took part in the organizational tasks of the Leiden University and was rector of the Alma Mater from 1589 to 1591 . On May 11, 1596 he left Leiden to take up a chair at Franeker University . He didn't stay there long. He finally returned to his Frisian homeland, where on May 10, 1597, he took over a position as a councilor at the Frisian Court of Justice. However, he was no longer effective because he died the following year.
