Matthaei Wagner, Ulmae (Ulm): ., 1678 pp. [4], 150. 24 mo. 135 mm. Worn and age stained. Last leaves with very slight loss. Disbound. Elias Veiel (1635-1706) was a Lutheran theologian in Ulm, Germany. Educated at the University of Strasbourg, where he earned a master's degree, he then studied Protestant theology at the universities of Heidelberg, Leipzig; Wittenberg and Jena. In 1662, he became chaplain at the Ulm Mnster and a Professor of theology at the local high school, and later was promoted to be director of the school and the town librarian. Veiel published a number of Exegetical, historical theological and dogmatic writings mostly in Latin, but also sermon volumes and a representation of the Protestant faith, skimmed from Martin Luther's writings. Although he was a friend for over three decades with Philipp Jakob Spener - he was critical of Pietism and Anabaptism. This rare little book was apparently issued after a dispution with Veielio and Johann Philipp Cellar (Keller) (1709-1766).… Read More

He was graduated at Wesleyan in 1844, taught two years in Poultney, Vermont, and then failing health again compelled his retirement to a farm in Newtown, Long Island. Eighteen months later he settled at Flushing, where he followed biblical studies.

In 1607 and 1608, Hudson made two attempts on behalf of English merchants to find a rumored Northeast Passage to Cathay (China) via a route above the Arctic Circle. In 1609 he landed in North America and explored the region around the modern New York metropolitan area, looking for a Northwest Passage to Asia on behalf of the Dutch East India Company. He sailed up the Hudson River, which was later named for him, and thereby laid the foundation for Dutch colonization of the region.
