Heidelberge.
It is the Metropolis of the Palatinacy of Rheine,* 1.1 wherein the Palsgraves or Countes Palatines continually hold their Courts and residence.
Rupertus the 10th Palatine of Rheine erected in this City an University, Anno Dom. 3346. which in succession of time grew to be reckoned among the most wor∣thy and famous Nurseries of the Arts. Pope Vrban the 6th confirmed the same with the Priviledges and Prerogatives of Paris.
This Academy hath fostered many Learned men, as Rudolphus Agricola, Willi∣am Xilander, Thomas Erastus, Zachary Vrsin, Conradus Pellicanus Munsters Master, Pareus.
Also in this University did that industrious excellently learned Scholar Sebastian Munster,* 1.2 publickly profess the Hebrew Tongue.
Notes

The taking of that famous Li∣brary in respect of many choice Manuscripts, and removing it to Rome was a great losse.
