Matthias Vehe known as Glirius (c.1545-1590) was a German Protestant religious radical, who converted to a form of Judaism and anti-trinitarianism, rejecting the New Testament as revelation.
The identity of Vehe and the writer Glirius, who published Mattanjah (Knowledge of God) 1578 in Cologne, was established by G. E. Lessing. The history of the group including Vehe has been reconsidered by recent scholarship.[1]
Life
He was born in Ballenberg, and brought up in Königshofen. He studied at the University of Heidelberg, and at the University of Rostock under David Chytræus.[2]
He was arrested by the local Church Council with others in 1570, as a dissenter from the Calvinism being introduced by the Elector Palatine. He was at that time deacon at Kaiserslautern. Adam Neuser, later a convert to Islam, eventually escaped with help from Simon Grynæus.[3] Johannes Sylvan was executed, in 1572.[4]
He took refuge in Transylvania, teaching at the Unitarian college at Kolozsvár, where Ferenc Dávid was the head.[5][6] Others with radical Christian views there were Jacobus Palaeologus and Christian Francken.
Vehe's followers András Eőssy and Simon Péchi founded the Sabbatarians, after Dávid died in prison in 1579.[7]
