Clariff. Golius] Jacobus Golius 

 (1596—1667), who was born at the 

 Hague, came of an ancient and renow* 

 ned family. He studied at the Univer* 

 sity of Leyden till his twentieth year, 

 when he went to live in the country. 

 After some time he left for France, 

 living for a while at La Rochelle ; but he 

 returned to the Netherlands on account 

 of the Religious Wars. Golius was an 

 eminent man of learning, with great 

 knowledge of various branches of science, 

 having applied himself to the study of 

 the classical languages, philosophy, theo* 

 logy, medicine and mathematics; besides 

 he was a good Arabian and Persian 

 scholar, having learned those two Ian* 

 guages during a long stay in Morocco 

 and in the Levant, where he likewise 

 obtained many very valuable manuscripts. 

 In 1629 he became Professor of Mathe* 

 matics in Leyden. Golius was the author 

 of several works of great importance, the 

 best known of which are possibly his 

 Arabian*Latin and his Persian*Latin Die* 

 tionaries (Biogr. Woordenboek dev Ne= 

 derlanden, vol. VII p. 270 and Biogra^ 

 phie Universelle, vol. XVII p. 117.).
