Mathias Flacius is the Latinized name of Matia Vlacich / Matija
Vlac(ic'. He was born on March 3, 1520 in Albona, Istria, the ancient
Illyricum, from which he assumed the added surname of IIlyricus. His
father was Andrea Vlacich  alias  Francovich, his mother was  Jacobea
Luciani, daughter of a wealthy and powerful Albonian family. Her uncle
was the lutheranian Baldo Lupetina, who later was condemned to death
in Venice for his faith.
Sixteen year-old Matthias went to study in Venice where he was taught
by the humanist Giambattista Cipelli (Baptista Aegnatius).

At first, Matthias wanted to be a Franciscan but his grand-uncle Baldo
Lupetina advised him to go to Germany and study the works of Martin
Luther. Matthias went first to Basel, where he enrolled on May 1, 1539
at the university as  "Matheus de Franciscis de Albona Polensi Diocesi
in Illyrico sub Venetorum dicione, pauper", the last word means that
he did not have to pay any taxes because of his poverty.
In 1540 he transferred to Tbingen and then to Wittenberg where in 1543
he obtained a Magister Degree in Greek and Hebrew languages. It was
there that he met the German reformer Melanchthon and came under the
influence of Martin Luther. In 1544 he was made professor of Hebrew at
Wittenberg. His first work, 'De vocabulo fidei, published in 1549, is
a linguistical interpretation of the definition of  faith, based on
the Hebraic language. It became a supplement in the work  'De voce et
re fidei (published in Basel 1555). 
After Luther's death, Flacius came into conflict with Melanchthon by
opposing the Augsburg Interim (1548), and in 1549 he moved to
Magdeburg. He again became involved in theological controversy,
defending Luther's doctrine "by faith alone" against those who claimed
that good works following from faith are necessary for salvation.
While in Magdeburg he wrote the Catalogus testium veritatis, published
in 1556, which was the basis for his greatest work, the Ecclesiastica
historia (1559-1574), a severely Lutheran, antipapal history of the
Christian church from its beginnings until the early 1400s. It later
became known as the Magdeburg Centuries.
In 1557 he became professor of the New Testament at Jena. There he was
involved in a controversy over his position on original sin, which he
believed was the physical substance of humanity. Most Lutherans
rejected this position, and Flacius was dismissed. He went to
Regensburg where he worked as a private teacher of the Hebrew and
Greek languages and where he wrote his book 'Clavis Scripturae sacrae
published in 1567.
He served briefly as pastor in Antwerp in 1566, then moved to
Strasbourg in 1567, where he finished his great work the Glossa
compendiaria in Novum Testamentum. In 1573 he was accused of heresy
and expelled. He next fled to Frankfurt, where he found asylum in the
'Weifrauenkloster' led by Katarina von Meerfeld. In 1574 he
participated in several Colloquien in Berlin, Thringen, and Slesia but
without success. Returned to Frankfurt, he died on March 11, 1575 at
the age of 55.
Besides his defense of a strict Lutheran position, Flacius is best
known for his contribution to church history as an editor of the
Historia Ecclesiae Christi. He is further known as a philologist for
his hermeneutical work and great knowledge of the Greek and Hebrew
languages.
