text:
Eligius Pruystinck or in Dutch: Looi de Schaliedekker, lit. 'Eloy the Slater', was a slater from Antwerp in the Duchy of Brabant who became the leader of a radical Protestant faction named Loists after him. Pruystinck was likely born a poor man in Antwerp and remained poor through his life, leaving nothing after his death in 1544. He had contact with David Joris, probably before 1525, but his movement was not Anabaptist. In March 1525, Pruystinck visited Melanchthon and Luther in Wittenberg. In
