Ubbo Emmius was born on 5 December 1557 in Greetsiel, East Frisia, Germany. From the ages of 9 to 18 Emmius studied in a Latin school, before having to leave on the death of his father, a Lutheran preacher.
After studying at Rostock, he spent two years in Geneva, where he became intimate with Theodore Beza.
After studying at Rostock, at the age of 30, Emmius took classes in Geneva with Theodorus Beza, a Calvinist who influenced Emmius greatly. Upon returning to East Friesland in 1579 he took the position of rector in the very school in which he was taught, the college at Norden. He was subsequently sacked by the local court in 1587 because, as a Calvinist, he would not subscribe to the confession of Augsburg.
Following this, in 1588, the Calvinist count Johan offered him the position of rector in the Latin school of Leer.
(Later renamed the Ubbo-Emmius-Gymnasium). Whilst remaining in Leer it is known that Emmius had corresponded with many other important people of the time who had fled from Groningen after the area fell into the hands of the Spanish.
When Groningen surrendered to Prince Maurits in 1594 those who fled returned and offered Ubbo the position of rector in Street Maarten school. When in 1614 the decision was made to form a university, under the guidance of Emmius.
As a result he was chosen as the principal and professor of history and Greek and ultimately became the first rector magnificus of the Academy in which he formed.
Ubbo Emmius died on the 9 December 1625 in Groningen. His grave stone reads:
“Foreign the immortal memory of the famous and faithful old man Ubbo Emmius, a Frisian from Greetsiel, first rector of the academy, theologist of the pure doctrine, excellent philologist, perfect historian.”.
Emmius' primary works were "the History of the Frisian Territories" (6 parts) and "the Chronologicum" devoted to the study of histories of different nations.
