This article appears in Volume V12, Page 226 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GOA-GRA
GOLIUS or (GOHL), JACOBUS (1596-1667), Dutch Orientalist, was born at the Hague in 1596 , and studied at the university of Leiden, where in Arabic and other Eastern
languages
  he was the most distinguished
pupil
  of
Erpenius
 . In 1622 he accompanied the Dutch
embassy
  to Morocco, and on his return he was chosen to succeed
Erpenius
  (1624). In the following year he set out on a Syrian and Arabian tour from which he did not return until 1629. The
remainder
  of his
life
  was spent at Leiden where he held the chair of
mathematics
  as well as that of Arabic. He died on the 28th of September 1667.
His most important
work
  is the
Lexicon
  Arabico-Latinum, fol., Leiden, 1653, which, based on the Sihah of Al-Jauhari, was only superseded by the corresponding
work
  of
Freytag
 . Among his earlier publications may be mentioned editions of various Arabic texts (Proverbia quaedam Alis, imperatoris Muslemici, et Carmen Tograipoetae doctissimi, necnon dissertatio quaedam Aben Synae, 1629; and A hmedis Arabsiadae vitae et rerum gestarum Timuri, qui vulgo Tamer, lanes dicitur, historia, 1636). In 1656 he published a new edition, with considerable additions, of the Grammatica Arabica of Erpenius. After his death, there was found among his papers a Dictionarium Persico-Latinum which was published, with additions, by Edmund Castell in his
Lexicon
  heptaglotton (1669). Golius also edited, translated and annotated the astronomical treatise of Alfragan (Muhammedis, filii Ketiri Ferganensis, qui vulgo Alfraganus dicitur, elementa astronomica Arabice et Latine, 1669).
