| biography:
| Protestant reformer, born in Sélestat, NE France (formerly Schlettstadt, Germany). He entered the Dominican order, and studied theology at Heidelberg. In 1521 he left the order, married a former nun, and settled in Strasbourg (1523). In the disputes between Luther and Zwingli he adopted a middle course. At the Diet of Augsburg he declined to subscribe to the proposed Confession of Faith, and afterwards drew up the Confessio tetrapolitana (1530). He became professor of theology at Cambridge in 1549. His chief work was a translation and exposition of the Psalms (1529). |
