a Protestant theologian of Switzerland, was born at Zurich, December 12, 1649. He studied under the famous Hottinger, at whose death he delivered an address. After having travelled through Germany, Holland, England, and France, he was in 1676 appointed pastor at Rorbach, in 1687 deacon of the large minister church of his native place, and died there as archdeacon in 1705. He wrote a commentary on Genesis and Exodus, which, however, has not been printed. See Jocher, Allgemeines Gelehrten Lexikon, s.v. (B.P.)
