a Protestant divine of Germany, was born at Roxheim, near Kreuznach, Nov. 30, 1765; and died at Heidelberg, Dec. 16, 1840; where he had been actively engaged as professor of theology since 1819. In the same year the Heidelberg University had created him doctor of divinity. Although he lectured for about twenty years, yet he wrote very little. With the exception of a few printed sermons and recessions, he has left nothing behind. See UImanni, in Theolog. Stud. u. Krit. 1841, p. 515 sq.; Holtzmann, in Allgemieine deutsche Biographie, s.v.
