Coddaeus

Willem van der Codde or Coddaeus (1574 – after 1625), was a theologian and writer from the Northern Netherlands.

Biography He was born in Leiden as the son of Jacob van der Codde during the siege of Leiden, when his father was away in Delft. He was taught in Leiden by the professors Franciscus Raphelengius, Franciscus Junius, Lucas Trelcatius, and Franciscus Gomarus. He became a professor there himself and taught Hebrew in Leiden to Gisbertus Voetius and Caspar Sibelius, among others. He was dismissed in 1619 for siding with Remonstrants, and imprisoned briefly in 1623 for the same reason. He was still alive in 1625 and probably died in Leiden.
