Christian Kruik van Adrichem, or Christianus Crucius Adrichomius, (February 13, 1533 – June 20, 1585) was a Catholic priest and theological writer.

Biography

Van Adrichem was born in Delft. He was ordained in 1566, and was Director of the Convent of St. Barbara [nl] in Delft before being expelled by the storm of the Reformation. He died in Cologne.

His works are: Vita Jesu Christi (Antwerp, 1578) and Theatrum Terrae Sanctae et Biblicarum Historiarum (Cologne, 1590). This last work gives a description of Palestine, of the antiquities of Jerusalem, and a chronology from Adam till the death of John the Apostle in 109.
