Remigius Faesch. (26 May 1595 Basel - 27 February 1667 Basel) was a Swiss jurist and rector of the University of Basel.
Remigius Faesch was born into a household of the Faesch family in Basel.[1] His father Hans Rufolf Faesch was a silk merchant and mayor of Basel.[1] He was married to Rosa Irmi, the granddaughter of the former Mayor of Basel Jakob Meyer zum Hasen.[2] Between 1614 and 1616 Remigius studied law in the cities Geneva and Paris, but graduated in Basel.[3] In 1620/21 he made an extended journey to Italy. From 1628 onwards he taught law at the University of Basel, and was elected its rector three times in years 1637–38, 1649–50 and 1660–61.[3] Together with other professors of the University of Basel he demanded the purchase of the Amerbach Cabinet, by the city of Basel.[4] This happened in 1661 with the support of the Mayor of Basel Johann Rudolf Wettstein.[4] Besides he was the founder of the so-called Faeschisches Kabinett, a private museum which in 1823 became a part of the Kunstmuseum Basel.[5] He also re-published the Institutionum Imperialium analysis by Julius Pacius a Beriga.[3]
