He died Dec. 12,1681. Public law is greatly indebted to him, and he may be said to have first brought it to a scientific form. He was also among the first to adopt Harvey's theory of the circulation of the blood. His complete works, embracing a number of treatises on ecclesiastical subjects, particularly on the rights of Protestantism as opposed to the Romish Church, were published by Gobel (Brunsw. 1730, 7 vols. fol.).Pierer, Universal-Lexikon, s.v.
