Life
Zegers settled in Leuven around 1631, married twice, and had a thriving business as an academic publisher and bookseller. His clients included Nicolaus Vernulaeus and Diodorus Tuldenus.[1]
Having printed Cornelius Jansen's massive three-volume Augustinus in 1640, the papal condemnation of the work and the ensuing controversies drove Zegers to the brink of bankruptcy and led to his untimely death. His widow continued the bookshop, with the support of Jansenist patrons.

gollark: > Admitting to know a lot about someone but not sharing it with anyone else except the target, suggesting it to remove from given sources, is doxxing.Not really *doxxing*, but stalking-y.
gollark: > "surveillance" also happens when one researches documents available to general public.Yes, it does, and your rather passive-aggressive claim about how "there would be no need for NSA to exist" doesn't invalidate this. You can spy on people using information which is available for regular people to access with some work.
gollark: Because you might be an alt.
gollark: Yes, nobody was banned.
gollark: It's hard to have "proof" on things which are basically just... convoluted ethical/semantic arguments.
