Robert Sanderson
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Robert Sanderson (1587 - January 29, 1663), theologian and casuist, born of good family at Rotherham in Yorkshire, was educated at Lincoln College, Oxford. Entering the Church he rose to be Bishop of Lincoln. His work on logic, Logicae Artis Compendium (1615), was long a standard treatise on the subject. His sermons also were admired; but he is perhaps best remembered for his Nine Cases of Conscience Resolved (1678), in consideration of which he has been placed at the head of English casuists. He left large collections of historical and heraldic matter in MS.
