Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A New and General Biographical Dictionary, Vol. 5: Containing an Historical and Critical Account of the Lives and Writings of the Most Eminent Persons in Every Nation; Particularly the British and Irish; From the Earliest Accounts of Time to the Present Period, Wherein Their Remarkable Actions or Sufferin Faber (Jacobus), in French, James le Fevre, a very little man, says Bayle, and of mean extraction, but a great genius, supported by a great deal of learning, was born at Etaples in Picardy, about the year 1440; and was one of those, who began to expel the barbarism, which reigned in the university of Paris. He became suspected of Lutheranism, and was obliged to give way to the outrages of certain passionate and ignorant zealots who suffered him not to rest. He quitted the field, and retired from Paris to Meaux; where the bishop was William Briconnet, a lover of the sciences and men of true learning. The persecution raised by the Franciscans at Meaux obliging the bishop, against his inclination, to be a good Catholic; Faber was forced to retire to Blois, and from thence to Guienne. Margaret, queen of Navarre, sister to Francis I. honoured him with her protection; so that he enjoyed full liberty at Nerac till his death, which happened in 1537, when he was little short of a hundred years old. He was one of those, who, like Erasmus, though they did not outwardly depart from the church of Rome, and disapproved in some measure the conduct of those, who established the Reformation in Germany, yet at the bottom were very indifferent Papists. He took a journey to Strasburg, by the queen of Navarre´s order, to confer with Bucer and Capito, concerning the reformation of the church.
