Life

Johann Jacob Vitrarius was the son of the German jurist Philipp Reinhard Vitriarius, who between 1675 and 1682 taught law at the Geneva Academy.[3] At the age of 2 or 3 he moved to Leiden in the Dutch Republic when his father became professor at Leiden University. Eventually, Vitriarius studied law at the same university, earning a doctorate there in 1701 with the thesis Disputio juridica inauguralis de acquisitione rerum originaria.[1][2]

Vitrarius became a professor of law at Heidelberg University in 1706 [2] and was appointed to the law faculty at Utrecht University on 4 June 1708, commencing on 17 September 1708.[1] During 1714-15 he was Rector Magnificus at Utrecht. He left Utrecht in 1719 to take up a position at Leiden.[1] Here he took the place of his father, and was equally widely acclaimed, particularly by the German students who at that time often studied at Dutch universities.[3] He taught at Leiden until 15 January 1720. Vitrarius died on 12 December 1745 in Leiden, aged 66.[1][2]
