Note 459 — CXXIII.—To Melanchthon.[451]

Andrew Osiander, professor of theology at the University of Königsberg, was of a presumptuous and violent spirit; he put forth rash doctrines on the nature of Christ, on justification, and exaggerated, in the Roman Catholic sense, the Lutheran dogma of the Supper. He died in 1552. Melchior Adam, Vitæ Theolog. Germ., pp. 226-240.
