Valens Acidalius

Valens Acidalius, German Havekenthal (* 1567 in Wittstock, † May 25 1595 in Neisse ) was a German humanist.

Life

Valens Acidalius was a major critic and writer, who wrote in Latin. He was the son of a pastor in Wittstock. Acidalius studied in Rostock, Greifswald and Helmstedt. 1590, he accompanied his friend Daniel Bucretius ( Daniel beef ) to Italy, where he published his first work, a new edition of the Roman History of Velleius Paterculus. He studied philosophy and medicine at Bologna and was awarded his doctorate in both subjects.

On a practical activity as a physician he was not interested and focused instead on criticism and publication of classical works.

After several febrile illness in 1593, he returned back to Germany, where he first went with his friend Daniel Bucretius to Wroclaw. In the spring of 1595 he received an invitation to Neisse from his living there as Chancellor of the Silesian Higher Regional captaincy friend Wacker Wacken Rock, which he obeyed. There he died the same year with only 28 years of a fever.

Participation in the Querelle des femmes

"In the beginning of the year" - year of his death - he published, apparently in Frankfurt, disputatio nova contra mulieres, quality probatur eas homines non esse, a polemic (according to Zedler, " dissertations " ) against women in the context of the Querelle des femmes, which he " many peevishness " einhandelte and pulled against fonts by itself. To repair the damage of the publisher again, he gave him " his animadversionibus " why he was considered the authors of Scripture, although he denied that.
