Ittig, Thomas

Ittig, Thomas a German Lutheran divine, was born at Leipzig Oct. 31, 1643. He studied at the universities of Leipzig, Rostock, and Strasburg. After filling the pastorate, he became, in 1698, professor of philosophy in the university of his native city. In 1691 he was transferred to the chair of theology. He died April 7,1710. Ittig was a very able man, but he lacked all tolerance towards those who chose to differ from him, and in some of his writings he is quite severe against other religious bodies than Lutherans. He is especially celebrated as a collector of the writings of the apostolical fathers (see below). His principal works are, Animadversiones in censuram facultatis theologicae Parisiensis, etc. (Leipzig, 1685, 4to): — De Heresiarchis cevi apostolici et apostolico proximi (Leipz. 1690 and 1703, 4to): —
