Engraving of Jacobus Alting Jacobus Alting (27 September 1618 - 20 August 1679) studied in Groningen and was ordained as a Church of England priest. He was named professor of theology at Groningen University in 1667 after holding the chair of oriental languages since 1641. His publications were overseen in 1687 by Balthasar Bekker, and argued with Maresius on biblical exegesis when the latter accused him of heterodoxy (1688). Alting was born in Heidelberg, where his father Hendrik Alting was a professor. The 1618/1619 Synod of Dort forced the family to move to Leiden in 1622 and to Groningen in 1627. Alting was involved in various refutations of Spinoza's Tractatus Theologico-Politicus (TTP) and eagerly began drafting up arguments from the writings of Ezra and Nehemiah for a refutation of the 'Theological-Political Treatise' being published by the Cartesian Deventer theologian Antonius Perizonius. Portrait bust in oval of Jacobus Alting wearing a skullcap. On the oval frame is a Latin inscription, and in the margin an eight-line Latin verse. Engraving by Steven van Lamsweerde. Gravure van Jacobus Alting Jacobus Alting (27 september 1618 - 20 augustus 1679) studeerde in Groningen en werd gewijd als priester in de Anglicaanse Kerk. In 1667 werd hij benoemd tot hoogleraar theologie aan de Universiteit van Groningen, nadat hij sinds 1641 de leerstoel Oosterse talen had bekleed. Zijn publicaties werden in 1687 uitgegeven onder toezicht van Balthasar Bekker, en hij raakte in debat met Maresius over bijbelse exegese toen deze hem van heterodoxie beschuldigde (1688). Alting werd geboren in Heidelberg, waar zijn vader Hendrik Alting hoogleraar was. De Synode van Dordrecht van 1618/1619 dwong het gezin in 1622 te verhuizen naar Leiden en in 1627 naar Groningen. Alting was betrokken bij verschillende weerleggingen van Spinoza’s Tractatus Theologico-Politicus (TTP) en begon enthousiast met het opstellen van argumenten uit de geschriften van Ezra en Nehemia voor een weerlegging van het Theologisch-Politiek Traktaat, dat werd uitgegeven door de cartesiaanse theoloog Antonius Perizonius uit Deventer. Portretbuste in ovaal van Jacobus Alting, met kalot. Op de ovale omlijsting staat een Latijns opschrift, in de marge een achtregelig Latijns vers. Gravure van Steven van Lamsweerde.…
