Girolamo Zanchi (M / Italy, 1516-1590), scholar
Girolamo Zanchi (Hieronymus Zanchius, Jerome Zanchi; 1516-1590) was an Italian OT scholar and a member of the Augustinian Order. Having joined the Reformation, he fled to Switzerland, France and Germany, where he was Professor of Old Testament at Strasbourg and Heidelberg. Girolamo Zanchi was born in Alzano Lombardo, near Bergamo, Lombardy [Italy] on February 2, 1516. He entered the Augustinian Order and in the monastery in Lucca was deeply influenced by the teachings of the Prior Pietro Martire Vermigli. In 1551 Zanchi also was among the Italian reformers who had to flee in order to escape the Inquisition. After a temporary residence in Switzerland, he was called to Strasbourg as a professor of Old Testament at the college of St. Thomas. From 1563 to 1568 he was back in Switzerland as a pastor. Later he taught in Germany at the University of Heidelberg (1568–76) and at the Casmirianum in Neustadt. Girolamo Zanchi died in Heidelberg [Germany] on November 19, 1590.
