Schaepper Melchior

Schaepper Melchior was a Silesian, of the city of Freystadt, in the Duchy of Glogau; and an intimate friend of Martin Ruarus, who mentions him in a letter to Frederick Schosser, written in the year 1629. He published in Poland, but in the German language, A brief Reply to the Question, Whether the Lord Jesus, when put to death, raised himself from the dead by his own Power? 1637, 8vo. This Reply, as we learn from the Preface, was directed against D. H., by which is meant Daniel Haltsius, Pastor of Meseritz. A Dutch translation of it appeared in 4to., 1653; and a Latin one at Amsterdam, in 8vo., 1659. To the latter was added an Epistle of John Ludwig Wolzogenius, in defence of Schaeffer, of which some account has been already given under article Wolzogenius, at point N°12.
