Masius, Andr

a very learned Orientalist, was born near Brussels in 1516. He was a man of excellent parts, an accomplished lawyer, and counselor to the duke of Cleves. He died in 1573. Masius translated a variety of articles from the Syriac, which may be found in the Supplement to the Critica Sacra, compiled a Syriac Lexicon and Grammar, and a learned Commentary on Joshua and part of Deuterononmy. The former contains the readings of the Syriac Hexaplar version. See Hoefer, Nouv. Biog. Generale, s.v.
