Antonius Hulsius studied theology in Geneva, Groningen and Leiden. In 1676, he was rewarded for his efforts to ruin Cartesianism with the regular chairs of theology and Hebrew languages at Leiden University. Hulsius published the anti-Socinian Non-ens prae-adamiticum, … (Leiden, 1656) against La Peyrère's ‘preadamite’ theory, and contested Jean de Labadie’s Le Heraut du grand roy Jesus, … (Amsterdam, 1667) in Le Heraut muet, … (Leiden, 1669).
