Summary/Abstract: The paper presents the typical course of education, life journeys, and careers of professors of theology and law based on selected Viten (Vitae, biographies) from an early-modern collection of biographies by the Heidelberg historian Melchior Adam (1575–1622), who was originally from Silesia. First and foremost, it attempts to determine the degree to which professors were involved in non-university structures: theologians as priests, superintendents, etc., jurists as princes or town councillors, etc. It also examines the role played by graduation from and study at foreign schools in their future university and other careers.
