Abraham Scultetus

Abraham Scultetus (24 August 1566 – 24 October 1625) was a German professor of theology, and the court preacher for the Elector of the Palatinate Frederick V. Abraham was born in Grünberg in Schlesien in Silesia (after 1945 Zielona Góra, Poland) and was brought up as a Lutheran.

He continued to serve the churches of the Palatinate and accompanied Frederick V on his honeymoon with his wife Elisabeth, daughter of King James I of England, in 1613.

Some held that Scultetus was the most prominent foreigner at the Synod along with George Carleton, Bishop of Llandaff from England.

Abraham Scultetus, as the court preacher, had significant influence on Frederick and urged him to accept the crown of Bohemia in order to spread Protestantism.

Scultetus did try to install the Reformed church order on the highly Lutheran area of Bohemia, and it caused some problems.
