Hutter, LEONHARD, champion of Lutheran orthodoxy, was born in 1563 at Nellingen, near Ulm, and filled the chair of Theology at Wittenberg from 1596 till his death in 1616. His Compendium (1610) took the place of Melanchthon's Loci, and his Concordia Concors (1614) was long a standard work. His name was adopted by Hase (q.v.) in his well-known rehabilitation of the Old Lutheran dogmatic, Hutterus Redivivus (1828; 12th ed. 1883).
