This article appears in Volume V10, Page 111 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: EUD-FAT
FABER, BASIL (1520-c. 1576) , Lutheran schoolmaster and theologian, was born at Sorau, in lower
Lusatia
 , in 1520. In 1538 he entered the university .of Wittenberg, studying as pauper gratis underMelanchthon. Choosing the schoolmaster's profession, he became successively
rector
  of the schools at Nordhausen, Tennstadt (1555), Magdeburg (1557) and Quedlinburg (1560). From this last post he was removed in December 1570 as a Crypto-Calvinist. In 1571 he was appointed to the Raths-gymnasium at
Erfurt
 , not as
rector
 , but as director (Vorsteher). In this situation he remained till his death in 1575 or 1576. His
translation
  of the first twenty-five chapters of Luther's commentary on
Genesis
  was published in 1557; in other ways he promoted the spread of Lutheran views. He was a contributor to the first four of the Magdeburg Centuries. He is best known by his
Thesaurus
  eruditionis scholasticae (1571; last edition, improved by J. H. Leich, 1749, folio, 2 vols.); this was followed by his Libellus de disciplina scholastics (1572).
See Wagenmann and G.Muller in
Herzog
 -Hauck's Realencyklopadie (1898). (A. Go.*)
