A Protestant refugee from Champagne in 1563, he did part of his studies in Geneva, but he also travelled back and forth to Paris during periods of lull in the persecutions.
In 1571 he was in Basel, where he became friends with Theodor Zwinger a member of the consilium facultatis medicae from 1559, with whom he obtained the title of Doctor of Medicine.
[4] He published in 1585 in Geneva with Jean Le Preux, a book entitled Oratio apodictica, de resurrectione mortuorum[5] a criticism of the traditional Calvinism prevalent in Switzerland in the 16th century.
His name appears at the Montbéliard Colloquium, at the castle of Montbéliard[nb 2], from 21 to 26 March 1586, between Lutherans and Reformed: “On the Lutheran side appeared Andrea and Lucas Osiander, assisted by the two political counsellors, Hans Wolf von Anweil and Frederich Schiitz; on the part of the Reformed, Beza, Abraham Musculus (pastor at Berne), Anton Fajus (deacon at Geneva), Peter Hybner (professor of the Greek language at Berne), Claudius Alberius (professor of philosophy at Lausanne), and the two counsellors, Samuel Meyer, of Berne, and Anton Marisius, of Geneva.”[8]The main subject of the colloquium was that of predestination; the theses presented by Beza were accepted and signed by Aubery, who thus made a name for himself in the world of theology.
He was also interested in alchemy and met Oswald Croll and Wenceslas Lavinius to whom he dedicated a book: De concordia medicorum, disputatio exoterica.
