### LIPSON, JUSTUS
Catholic family, died at Louvain on 24 March 1606. He studied at Cologne and Louvain. From 1572 to 1575 he taught Latin letters at the Lutheran University of Jena in Germany, and from 1578 for twelve years at the Calvinist University of Leiden in Holland. Both at Jena and Leiden L. undoubtedly adhered, at least outwardly, to Protestantism. However, in 1591 he was reconciled, in the Jesuit College at Mainz, with the Catholic Church. Returning to Louvain, in 1592 he was appointed professor of history. He died assisted in his last hour by the celebrated Jesuit Lessius.
His numerous works deal chiefly with Latin philology and archaeology. Of interest for ecclesiastical studies is his *De cruce libri tres ad sacram profanamque historiam utiles* (Antwerp 1593), containing a detailed study of the punishment of crucifixion in antiquity. L.’s writings were several times collected in organic editions, all of them however incomplete. The best is that edited by Moretus (*J. Lipsii opera omnia*, 4 vols. fol., Antwerp 1637, with a biography of the author at the beginning).
