Estius

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.03 sec.

Estius (1542–1613)

Dutch Roman Catholic scholar and polemicist. His history of the martyrs of Gorcum (killed by Protestants) appeared in 1603. He was the author of commentaries on the works of Peter Lombard and the epistles of St Paul. A Roman Catholic, he also made notes for an edition of St Augustine. His zeal against the Protestants was such that it led him to defend the murder of William the Silent, Prince of Orange, in 1584.

He was born at Gorinchem (Gorcum), educated at Utrecht, and from 1561 studied at Louvain under Michel Baius (Baianism). From 1582 he was professor of theology at Douai, becoming chancellor of the university in 1595.
