Seidelius George , (Ger. Seidel,) a Pomeranian, was the son of James Seidelius, a celebrated Professor of Medecine at Gripswalde, and cousin of Martin Seidelius, of Olhau, in Silesia. He was born at Gripswalde ; entered the University of Altorf, Oct. 27^th, 1610, for the study of Medecine ; and delivered a public Disseration ther, Jan. 23^rd, 1613, "On the Influence of Natural Causes upon Health," at which Caspar Hoffmann presided. He left the University in 1614 ; and renouncing the study of Medecine, went into Poland, where he was appointed one of the Masters of the Gymnasium at Rakow, in 1616. He contracted a friendship with Ruarus at Altorf, which appears to have continued after he left the University. Among his feinds at Altorf, he was known by the name of Heminoeus, (written incorrectly Heiminoeus by Möller,) and Pomeranus Noster. The name Heminoeus was probably derived from the Greek , dimidium sextarii. With this derivation the German name Seidel agrees ; for half a measure (einer Maas) of wine or beer, which, in some parts of Germany, was called ein Nössel, (a pint,) was in others called ein Seidlein.
