Petrus Dathenus

Pieter Datheen

Pieter Datheen, Latin Petrus Dathenus (Cassel, Nord, c.1531 - Elbing, 17 March 1588) was a Dutch Calvinist theologian who translated the Heidelberg Catechism into Dutch. In his theological-political writings Datheen displays the typically optimistic view of early Calvinist writers in the Netherlands regarding the state.[1] He set the psalter to verse in Dutch (1566), though his settings were overshadowed by those of Philips Marnix van St Aldegonde.[2]
