John Emmanuel Tremellius was born at Ferrara, 1510. He was educated at the University of Padua, and was converted about 1540 to the Catholic faith through Cardinal Pole, but embraced Protestantism in the following year and went to Strassburg to teach Hebrew. Owing to the wars of the Reformation in Germany he was compelled to seek asylum in England, where he resided at Lambeth Palace with Archbishop Cranmer in 1547. In 1549 he succeeded Paul Fagius as Regius Professor of Hebrew at Cambridge. On the death of Edward VI. he revisited Germany, and after some vicissitudes became Professor of Old Testament at Heidelberg (1551). He ultimately found refuge at the College of Sedan, where he died in 1580.—(Jewish Encyclopedia.) 1554 A.D. [28| PHILO JUDAEUS. De Vita Mosis Lib. III], Adr.
