Ziegler, James
, a learned philosopher, mathematician, and divine, of the sixteenth century, was born at
Landshut, in Bavaria. He taught at Vienna for a considerable time, and resided afterwards near the bishop of Passau in Bavaria, where he died in 1549, leaving several
works; which are different in their spirit, according as
they were written before or after he quitted the Romish
church. Among these, his notes on some select passages of
the Holy Scriptures, Basil, 151?, folio, and his “Description of the Holy Land,” Strasburg, 1536, folio, are particularly esteemed. There is an excellent life of Ziegler in
Scbelhorn’s “Amoenitates.” 2

Found born 1549 and died 1549 in the body of the article, but this does not seem right, so both were ignored.
