Georg Mylius
Georg Mylius [1]
a noted German Lutheran divine, was born at Augsburg in 1548; studied at the universities of Strasburg, Marburg, and Tubingen, and in 1571 became pastor at Augsburg, and later was made superintendent and rector of the evangelical college. In 1584 his opposition to the Gregorian calendar made him very unpopular, and he was finally driven from the place. He went to Ulm, where he was kindly received; but he remained there only a short time, accepting in 1585 a call to Wittenberg University as professor of theology. When the Philippists gained supremacy at that high school Mylius removed to Jena, soon, however, to turn back to Wittenberg, where he died, May 28, 1603. Mylius was an industrious student, and prepared numerous exegetical works. See Adam, Vitce Theol. Germ. (1620).
