Brabant humanist. Born at Antwerp; died at De Briel, December 1603. He probably left Antwerp at the arrival of the Duke of Alva (anyway at Emden in 1567-1568, at Bremen in 1569, student at Heidelberg University in 1571). During the Calvinist regime he became steward of the ecclesiastical estates at Antwerp. He once again left the City at the capitulation in August 1585, to become co-rector of the Latin School at Leiden. Later he went to Amsterdam, and finally, from 28 May 1593 on, directed the Latin School at De Briel. Cf. Nieuw Nederlandsch Biografisch Woordenboek, 2, 1912, Column 71; BB, I, pages 132-133.
