Oswald Hilliger

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Oswald Hilliger (born October 20, 1583 in Freiberg , Saxony, † March 25, 1619 in Jena ) was a German legal scholar.

Life

Hilliger was born as the son of the councilor Oswald Hilliger (1550-1610) and his wife Anna, the daughter of the Freiberg chief hut administrator Michael Schönleben. His grandfather was Wolfgang Hilliger from the Freiberg bell foundry family Hilliger .

He attended school in Freiberg, studied in 1601 at the University of Leipzig , in 1602 at the University of Wittenberg and at the University of Jena , where he received his doctorate in law in 1606 . Following the custom of the time, he went on a study trip that took him to various German universities and got to know the greats of law there. In 1616 he received a professorship at the University of Jena and was therefore appointed assessor at the Saxon court in Jena. However, after three years of activity, he died.

At an early stage, his teacher Valentin Wilhelm Forster in Wittenberg referred him to study Hugo Donellus , whose “Commentari juris civilis” he soon recognized as the most important work of the time. To this he dedicated his work Donellus enucleatus in 1610, which saw many later editions.
