ADAM, MELCHIOR (d. 1622)

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 172 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: A10-ADA
ADAM, MELCHIOR (d. 1622) ,
German
  divine and biographer, was born at Grotkau in Silesia after 1550, and educated in the college of
Brieg
 , where he became a
Protestant
 . In 1598 he went to
Heidelberg
 , where he held various scholastic appointments. He wrote the
biographies
  of a number of
German
  scholars of the 16th
century
 , mostly theologians, which were published in
Heidelberg
  and
Frankfort
  (5 vols., 16151620). He dealt with only twenty divines of other countries. All his divines are Protestants. His industry as a biographer is commended by P. Bayle, who acknowledges his obligations to
Adam
 's labours; and his
biographies
 , though they have faults, are still useful.
