DRABRICIUS, Nicholas, a celebrated enthu fiaft, born in Moravia in 1587. He was admitted minifter in 1616; but on account of the fevere edicts against the Proteftants, he retired to Hungary in 1629.

He then received orders to write down what had been revealed to him, and to begin like the ancient prophet, The word of the Lord came unto me. In 16541 Drabricius was reftored to his miniftry, and had more vifions than ever, which he communicated to his coadjutor Comenius, that he might publish them to all nations. Comenius did not know what to do, fearing that if he did not print them he fhould difobey God, and if he did he would be expofed to the ridicule of men. He took a middle way: he printed them, but would not diftribute the copies, and entitled the Book Lux in Tenebris. Some fay Drabricius was burnt as a falfe prophet; others, that he died in Turkey.
