TREMELLIUS, JOHN IMMANUEL:
Italian
Hebraist; born at Ferrara 1510; died at Sedan Oct. 9, 1580. He was educated at
the University of Padua. He was converted about 1540 to the Catholic faith
through Cardinal Pole, but embraced Protestantism in the following year, and
went to Strasburg to teach Hebrew. Owing to the wars of the Reformation in
Germany he was compelled to seek asylum in England, where he resided at Lambeth
Palace with Archbishop Cranmer in 1547. In 1549 he succeeded Paul Fagius as
regius professor of Hebrew at Cambridge. On the death of Edward VI. he
revisited Germany, and, after some vicissitudes, became professor of Old
Testament at Heidelberg (1561). He ultimately found refuge at the College of
Sedan, where he died. His chief literary work was a Latin translation of the
Bible from the Hebrew and Syriac. The five parts relating to the Old Testament
were published at Frankfort-on-the-Main between 1575 and 1579, in London in
1580, and in numerous later editions. Tremellius also translated into Hebrew
Calvin's "Catechism" (Paris, 1551), and wrote a "Chaldaic"
and Syriac grammar (Paris, 1569).
