Biographical note
Minister of the Dutch Reformed Church. Born in South Holland, Johannes Lydius led a congregation in Antwerp before emigrating to New York in 1700. Residing in Albany and later Schenectady, he conducted missionary work among the Mohawk people. His Dutch catechism, printed by William Bradford in 1700, is one of the earliest Dutch language texts printed in America. He took ill in September 1709 and died on 1 March 1709 (= modern 1710).
