3. De praedicabilibus (Gammal)

Date of disputation: 25 May 1611
Respondent: Magnus Mathaei Gammal Ostrobothniensis

• b. presumably in 1580s, d. in Jakobstad (Pietarsaari) 1636• student in Uppsala University 1610• enrolled in Rudbeckius' collegium privatum in October 1610• chaplain/kaplan in Jakobstad 1601, in Vörå (Vöyri) 1614• vicar in Jakobstad 1622• sources: Väänänen, Leinberg p. 362, Libris, Alvin, Hall 1923 (ÅSU vol. 10), pp. 60, 67

Dedications:

• Henricus Martini Brennerus (d. 1616, vicar in Mustasaari 1599, also in Vasa/Vaasa 1606)• Matthaeus Jacobi Gammal (d. 1632, vicar in Vörå/Vöyri 1601, the respondent's father)• Martinus Vargus (d. 1639, vicar in Närpes 1610, in Nedertorneå/Alatornio 1624, married to the respondent's maternal aunt's daughter but not mentioned as such)• Martinus Jacobi Veronius (indicated as vicar in Kronoby; since it is independently known that Martinus Jacobi Viloides became in 1607 the first vicar in Kronoby and held the office at least until 1614, it follows that Martinus Jacobi Veronius = Martinus Jacobi Viloides. Besides, the respondent indicates Veronius as his maternal uncle [avunculus], and indeed Martinus Jacobi Viloides was one of his mother's brothers)• Andreas Laurentii [?] (indicated as affinis—i.e., relative by marriage—with no further information given; Magnus Gammal himself got married only in 1618, and neither before nor after that there appears to be anyone by that name in the enlarged family)• Gabriel Pauli (Wernberg, cf. the list of dedications in Nurcherus' disputation; the respondent's maternal aunt's husband—and indeed the father of Martinus Vargus' wife)• Johannes Jacobi Viloides (d. 1613, curate/komminister in Vörå/Vöyri 1600; referred to as the respondent's maternal uncle)• Johannes Jacobi Major [?] (likewise presented to as the respondent's maternal uncle; here ‘major’ is apparently used for disambiguation, as an epithet indicating that the person referred to is older than the other person with the same name already mentioned; it is certainly bizarre that two of the respondent's uncles were referred to by the same name; his only known uncle not mentioned earlier in the list is Matthias Jacobi Viloides, curate/komminister in Vörå/Vöyri 1583-1608/09, so it seems that for some reason Matthias was known in the relevant social circle as Johannes major; one explanation could be the need for avoiding that the curate be confounded with another ‘Matts Jakobsson’, namely the vicar Matthaeus Jacob Gammal)

Epigrams:

• Andreas Erici Molinus Strengnesis (studies in Rudbeckius' collegium privatum 1610-1612, respondent there in 1612, holder of royal scholarship/kunglig stipendiat)• Ericus Olai Medelpadius Niurenius (enrolled in Rudbeckius' collegium privatum in March 1610, respondent there in 1611, holder of royal scholarship/kunglig stipendiat) • Israel Jonae Grubb(aerus) Ostrogothus (enrolled in Uppsala University in 1611, studies in Rudbeckius' collegium privatum 1611-1612; enrolled in Wittenberg 1614; court chaplain of count palatine/Pfalzgraf Johann Kasimir; vicar of Floda/diocese of Strängnäs 1628; d. 1634)

Date of disputation: 15 June 1611
Respondent: Carolus Ionae Bothniensis Arothegius

• b. in Umeå, d. 1638 in Umeå• student in Uppsala University 1604• enrolled in Rudbeckius' collegium privatum in August 1611• ordained as a priest 1611• second curate (andre komminister) in Umeå 1622• elected vicar (kyrkoherde) in Arnäs (Ångermanland) 1637, deceased in early 1638 before taking up office• sources: Bygdén, Libris, Alvin, Hall 1923 (ÅSU vol. 10), pp. 56, 68, 70

Dedications:

• Petrus Thomae (Cassiopaeus, vicar in Skeptuna)• Israel Erici Acrelius (vicar in Åker)• Olaus Andreae (vicar in Listlena; cf. Olaus Andreae mentioned in Hermerén p. 63, PHT 1-4/1938)• Augustinus (concionator/preacher in Stockholm)• Ericus Erici (Thaddaeus, curate/komminister in Skeptuna, subsequently vicar in the same parish, married to his predecessor Petrus Thomae's daughter)• Johannes Laurentii (concionator/preacher in Salsta)• Ericus Erici Hielmstadius (cathedral treasurer/domkyrkosyssloman in Uppsala Cathedral, subsequently vicar in Sigtuna not later than 1616; see also here and here)

Epigrams:

• Johannes Jonae Methodorus Stijg Ostrogothus (b. 1583, d. 1643; enrolled in Uppsala University 1604, studies in Rudbeckius' collegium privatum 1610-1612, respondent there 1612; holder of royal scholarship/kunglig stipendiat; vicar of Styrestad 1618)• Sigvardus Andreae Nordmarchius (enrolled in Uppsala University 1606; curate/komminister in Gilberga/diocese of Karlstad) 1610; d. 1628• Ericus Jonae Bongius [Bång] Helsingus (enrolled in Rudbeckius' collegium privatum in March 1610, respondent there in 1611; vicar in Viksta/diocese of Uppsala 1632; d. 1652)

5. De enunciatione (Paulinus)

Date of disputation: 17 August 1611
Respondent: Ericus Paulinus Sudermannus

• enrolled in Rudbeckius' collegium privatum in April 1610• as appears below, many people in the entourage of Ericus Paulinus identifialbe; Ericus Paulinus himself remains to be better identified• sources: Libris, Alvin, Hall 1923 (ÅSU vol. 10), pp. 53, 69

Dedications:

• Olaus Stephani (Bellinus, d. 1618, master, bishop of Västerås)• Stephanus Olai (Bellinus, d. 1629, master, vicar in Husby/diocese of Västerås, son of Olaus Stephani Bellinus) • Samuel Matthiae Malmarius (a.k.a. Malmenius, d. 1634, master, professor of Greek or theology at Uppsala University, vicar in Stora Tuna/diocese of Västerås, see also here)• Johannes Jonae (vicar in Björklinge/diocese of Uppsala, the respondent's father)– strangely enough the son is referred to as Paulinus or Pauli, but indicates Johannes – not Paulus – as his father's name– Johannes Jonae is apparently identical to Johannes Jonae Bellinus, active as a priest in Björklinge not later than 1573 and vicar at least until 1612, see Hermerén p. 57 in PHT 1-4/1938 and cf. Fant; here ‘Bellinus’ presumably merely stands for ‘from Bälinge’ without indicating parenthood with the two above-mentioned Bellini; indeed in the nearby parish Bälinge there was in 1594 a curate/komminister named Johannes Jonae, but if this was the same person, the person would have worked in two deaneries at the same time)• Hindricus Caruli (a.k.a. Henricus Caroli Hinck, d. 1614, vicar in Alsike and Knivsta/diocese of Uppsala)• Jonas Johannis (vicar in Botkyrka/diocese of Strängnäs apparently from 1611 until 1620, cf. Samzelius; the respondent's brother; consequently the brother worked in the region, Södermanland, in which Ericus Paulinus is indicated as having been born) • Petrus Michaelis (vicar in Äkrön = Ekerö/diocese of Uppsala until 1621; previously oeconomus studiosorum [= oeconomus communitatis/community treasurer] in Uppsala University and in 1600 vicar in Adelsö; relative/cognatus of the respondent)• Brynolphus Jonae (curate/komminister in Onsala = Odensala and Husby/diocese of Uppsala; information for the relevant years lacking in Fant; possibly the same as the curate of Sigtuna, in the same deanery, mentioned here; relative/cognatus of the respondent)

Epigrams:

• Olaus Gabrielis Angermannus Felstadius [see the epigrams of Carolus Simonis Nurcherus above]• Laurentius Birgeri Victorius Vermelandus [see the epigrams of Olaus Salomonis Florinus above]

Carl Olofsson Burman, the respondent's elder brother, governor/praetor in Medelpad, subsequently mayor/borgmäster in Söderhamn)
