Notes about Ds. Gerrit Dircks Verstege

Hij studeert voor 1553 te Deventer en vanaf 1553 in Rostock, hij is
leraar aan de Latijnse School te Wezel. Op 10-04-1558 schrijft hij

Op 10-02-1559 wordt hij ingeschreven als student te Heidelberg en op

keurvorst van de Palts brengt hij ca. 1572 een langdurig bezoek aan zijn
geboortestreek. De keurvorst wilde zich laten informeren over de
geuzenbeweging en tevens wil hij hen laten verzekeren van zijn

in Harderwijk. Historici waren lange tijd van mening dat zijn neef Johan
(Anastasius Veluanus) de afgevaardigde van de keurvorst was.
