Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A New and General Biographical Dictionary, Vol. 15 of 15: Containing an Historical and Critical Account of the Lives and Writings of the Most Eminent Persons in Every Nation Tollius (Jacobus), a physician and very learned man, was a native of Ingra, in the territory of Utrecht; and taught the belles lettres in his own country with great reputation and profit for some time. In 1684, the marquis of Brandenburg appointed him professor of eloquence and the Greek tongue. He made several journeys into different parts of Germany, into Hungary, and Italy; of which he has given some account in a posthumous work, published under the title of "Epistolæ itinerariæ," by Henninius, at Amsderdam, 1700, in 4to. It is said there are some useful and curious things on these epistles. Tollius was an editor of two antient authors, of "Asonius, cum notis variorum, 1671," 8vo; and of "Langinus, 1694," 4to, with a Latin version in the same page, and Boileau´s French version in the opposite. He was a critic of more learning than judgement, as the title of the following work may shew: "Fortuita sacra, in quibus præter critica nonnulla tota fabularis historia Græca, Phoenicia, Ægyptiaca, ad chymian pertinere asseritur, 1687," in 8vo. He pushedthis extravagant notion so far as to seek for the secrets of chymistry and the philosopher´s stone in the fables of Paganism. This does not shew a very sound judgement; yet there is a great deal of learning, and some curious things, in his book. He died in 1696. He had brother, named Cornelius Tollius, who was also a very learned man. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
