Peter Heige

Peter Heige (also: Petrus Heigius, Heig ; * October 21, 1559 in Stralsund ; † March 6, 1599 in Dresden ) was a German legal scholar.

Life

Born the son of the noble Zabel Heige, he studied at the University of Helmstedt , the University of Heidelberg and the University of Basel , where he received his doctorate in law. He went to the University of Wittenberg , where he enrolled on July 16, 1580 in the matriculation of the university. He wanted to give lectures there in 1581, but first went to the Imperial Court of Justice in Speyer .

Although people would have liked to see him in his home country, he became associate professor at Wittenberg University in 1584. After Heige entered the law faculty there on July 30, 1586, he became a full professor there in 1588 , and soon afterwards ducal counselor to the council of appeals in Dresden. After teaching in Wittenberg for 14 years, he moved to Dresden on May 21, 1598 as an electoral councilor. After being ill for a long time, he died there in the spring of 1599.

Heige enjoyed a high reputation due to his knowledge and interpretation of Saxon law. Of his writings, only the "Oratio de Aemilio Papiniano" (Wittenberg 1594) have survived. Ludwig Person later published his works under the title Quaestiones juris tam civilis quam saxonici (2 parts Wittenberg 1601-09), which had several editions and were distributed in several countries. His commentary was also. Super IV libros Institutorium Imper edited, which must not be confused with the book just mentioned.

From his marriage on September 5, 1587 in Dresden to Dorothea (* 1570; † March 5, 1624 in Dresden), the daughter of the deceased secret chamber secretary Valerius Cracow († August 10, 1573 in Dresden) and Maria Turler, there are four Children emerged. Of his two sons, the older Johann Appellationsrat and the younger Petrus (born November 13, 1597 in Wittenberg, † December 20, 1634 in Grossenhain) became the elector's personal physician in Dresden.
