Augustinus Hunnaeus (1521 – 1577 or 1578) was a Flemish Catholic theologian.[1]
Life
[edit]Hunnaeus was born in Mechelen in 1521. After attending school in his home city, Hunnaeus studied theology at University of Leuven, where he became Doctor of Philosophy. He taught Greek and Hebrew at the Gymnasium castrense of Leuven. He later became professor of theology at the local University.
Hunnaeus is one of the Syncretists of his time, whose work is based on Aristotle and Petrus Hispanus. He contributed to the Plantin Polyglot, a polyglot Bible printed by Christopher Plantin in Antwerp.[2]
