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).[1][2] This last work gives a description of Palestine, of the antiquities of Jerusalem,[3] and a chronology from Adam till the death of John the Apostle in 109.
