Other NoteAnthony Horneck was born in 1641 at Bacharach in the Lower Palatinate to Phillip Elias Horneck and his wife Anna Sophia Grammartz. Educated under Friedrich Spanheim at Heidelberg with the objective of entering the Reformed ministry, Horneck came to England in 1660 and was incorporated M.A. from Heidelberg at Oxford (note: in variance with the ODNB, AO states this M.A. was from Wittenberg, not Heidelberg). He entered Queen’s College, where he gained a reputation for his piety and expertise in oriental languages. He was appointed college chaplain and presented to the Oxford living of All Saints’; at some point between 1668 (AO) and 1670 (ODNB) he also was presented to the living of Dolton, Devon, and was granted a prebend in Exeter Cathedral. He returned to the Palatinate in 1669 to preach at the court of the elector, Charles Lewis, and was made minister of St Mary-le-Strand and appointed preacher in the Savoy in 1671. A fierce opponent of pluralities and non-residence, Horneck resigned the living of Dolton despite his new appointment carrying almost no income. Horneck’s prowess in Rabbinic and Hebrew studies resulted in the awarding of a D.D. at Caius College, Cambridge in 1681. He contributed an appendix of Swedish witch cases to Joseph Glanville’s “Saducismus trimphatus” (2nd ed., 1682), and wrote several works that provided rules of life for ordinary Christians. He died on 31 January 1697 and was buried in Westminster Abbey. He was survived by his wife Jane Boulton, whom he married in 1671 and with whom he had four children.
