Johannes Musaeus (1619-1661), Professor der Theologie in Jena, Lutheraner nach dem Augsburgischen Bekenntnis, hat ungefähr 40 Dissertationen und andere Werke theologischen Inhalts verfasst. Wolff schätzt ihn sehr und bezieht sich jedes Mal auf die hier im Nachdruck vorgelegte Abhandlung, wenn er die Thesen der Sozinianer, d.h. der durch Fausto Sozini initiierten antitrinitarischen Bewegung, angreift. Aber auch in anderen theologischen Fragen stützt er sich auf Musaeus, so dass die Kenntnis dieses Autors zu einem besseren Verständnis des Wolff’schen Denkens beitragen kann.

He also relies on Musaeus when dealing with other theological questions so that a knowledge of Musaeus can contribute to a better understanding of Wolff’s own thought.
