According to Buschbeck (see Buschbeck, 11), Daniel was the second son of Matthias and Elisabeth Flacius. In May 1574 he was present at the disputations between Matthias Flacius and Jacob Coler in Lower Silesia (present-day Poland), where he recorded the proceedings (see Buschbeck, 11). He enrolled at the University of Basel in May 1579 as “Daniel Flaccius Magdeburgensis, Mathiae Ilirici filius.” According to this he was born in Magdeburg. In 1581 he graduated with a bachelor’s degree and later received a master’s degree as well (Wackernagel, 267). On 10 March 1575 Daniel called pastors Hartman Beyer and Matthias Ritter to serve the Holy Communion to his father on his deathbed (Preger II, 525).
