William Levinz

William Levinz (25 July 1625 – 3 March 1698), doctor of medicine and Regius Professor of Greek at Oxford University, was President of St John's College, Oxford, from 1673 until 1698.

He refused to submit to the authority of the parliamentary visitors of the university in 1648; but his name occurs continuously in the college register.

[2] At the reception of the chancellor Edward Hyde on 9 September 1661 Levinz, though ill, made a speech.

He was buried in St. John's College chapel, with monument, describing him as optime literatus, mansuetus, modestus, justus, pius.

[2] According to a manuscript note in the Bodleian Library copy, Levinz was the author of a history of the year 1660, Appendicula de Rebus Britannicis, which was printed anonymously in the third (1663) and subsequent editions of the Flosculi Historici Delibati nunc Delibatiores redditi sive Historia Universalis of the Jesuit Jean de Bussières.
