thumb|the current faÃ§ade of the collegium trilingue at leuven, 2010. the collegium trilingue, often also called collegium trium linguarum, or, after its creator collegium buslidianum (french:  collÃ¨ge des trois langues, dutch: dry tonghen), was founded in 1517 under the patronage of the humanist, jeroen van busleyden (in latin hieronymus buslidius). the college, in fact inspired by erasmus who was a friend of busleyden, was inaugurated in september 1518. it was not formally part of the university of leuven, but had been founded by a group of humanists who wanted to spread humanism and the revival of the classics (specifically the literae humaniores), which were not popular at the time at the medieval university of leuven. they promoted the teaching of the three ancient languages: latin, greek and hebrew. leon e. halkin writes that "erasmus does not teach himself, but he recruits the best teachers of latin, greek and hebrew".lÃ©on e. halkin, Ãrasme parmi nous, paris, fayard, 1987, pp. 174-175. under this model, king francis i of france founded the royal college in 1530 (now collÃ¨ge de france). he sought to attract erasmus who declined the offer. == professors of the collegium trilingue == we give below the complete list of the professors of the collegium trilingue.fÃ©lix nÃ¨ve, mÃ©moire historique et littÃ©raire sur le collÃ©ge (sic) des trois-langues Ã  l'universitÃ© de louvain, m. hayez, bruxelles, 1856 . === teachers of latin === *1518-1519 hadrianus barlandus *1519-1539 conradus goclenius *1539-1557 petrus nannius *1557-1578 cornelius valerius *1586-15xx guilielmus huismannus *1606-1606 justus lipsius *1607-1646 eryceus puteanus *1646-1649 nicolaus vernulaeus *1649-1664 bernadus heimbachius *1664-1669 christianusa langendonck *1669-1683 joannes baptista victor de schuttelaere *1683-1688 dominicus snellaerts *1683-1693 leonardus gautius *1689-1701 bernardus desirant *1705-1720 jean francois de laddersous *1730-1741 christianus bombaeus *1722-1738 gerard jean kerckherdere *1741-1768 henri joseph van der steen === teacher of greek === *1518-1545 rutgerus rescius *1545-1560 hadrianus amerotius *1560-1578 theodoricus langius *1578-1590 guilielmus fabius *1591-1596 gerardus corselius *1606-1607 henricus zoesius *1609-1632 petrus castellanus *1632-1643 petrus stockmans *1643-1652 mathieu theige *1652-1654 jean normenton *1654-1664 bernardus heymbachius *1664-1680 jean de hamere *1681-1690 rutger van den burgh *1683-1722 francois martin *1723-1732 franciscus audenaert *1723-1740 francois claude de guareux *1741-1782 jean-baptiste zegers *1782-1787 jean hubert joseph leemput *1790-1791 jean-baptiste cypers *1791-1797 antoine van gi
