Polykarp (von) Leyser the Elder or Polykarp Leyser I (18 March 1552 - 22 February 1610) was a Lutheran theologian, superintendent of Braunschweig, superintendent-general of the Saxon church-circle, professor of theology at theUniversity of Wittenberg and chief court-preacher and consistorial-councillor ofSaxony. He was married to the daughter of Cranach the Younger and was a student of Martin Chemnitz. Leyser came to have an ingrained support for Lutheran orthodoxy - indeed, at a difficult time for Lutheranism, he was one of those who founded that orthodoxy. As one of the key movers behind the Formula of Concord, he used his books to defend Lutheran orthodoxy and attack Catholicism and Calvinism.; 8vo 8" - 9" tall.
