Cornelis van Sneek
Cornelis van Sneek , Cornelius Henrici de Snekis , also Cornelius , van Snêk , Snêk , Snecanus , de Snekis , Snegassius († September 14, 1534 in Leeuwarden ) was a Dutch Dominican who mainly worked in Germany and was an opponent of the Reformation .
Life
Father Cornelis probably came from Sneek . Little is known about his origins and his studies until Cornelius Henrici de Snekis was matriculated for the first time at the University of Rostock on September 1, 1476 . In May 1483 he was re-enrolled. At that time he was already Doctor theologiae and Prior conventus Sancti Johannis , i.e. prior of the Johanniskloster in Rostock. In 1491 he stayed to study theology in Cologne and in 1496 in Leuven , where he received his doctorate again in 1501. 1501/02 he was prior in Bremen, 1503/04 in Rostock; In 1505 he is attested as a Magister in the office of Inquisitor in the dioceses of Kammin and Schwerin and from 1505 to 1508 as Inquisitor and Vicar General for Germany of the Dutch Congregation , the reform branch of the Dominican Order. In 1509 he was vicar of the Eastern Nation in the Dominican Order. In 1513 he received his license to practice medicine in the chapter of the Dominican Order in Genoa . From 1515 he was back in Rostock as prior of the Johanniskloster and taught as a theology professor at the University of Rostock.
In March 1515 he came to Greifswald for a chapter of the order and was also enrolled here at the University of Greifswald . In 1523 he was again in Greifswald and received his doctorate in theology from the prior of the Black Monastery there, Wilhelm van Buren . In 1519 he gave the Brotherhood of the Holy Trinity of the Landfahrer-Kramer zu Rostock , who had their Trinity altar in the Dominican Church of St. Johannis, a certificate of their and the convent's mutual achievements. The brotherhood comprised all land-traveling traders in northeast Germany who had their meeting in Rostock during the Whitsun market.
He was considered an opponent of the Franciscans and resolutely opposed the reformatory efforts, but was never the target of personal accusations. After the monastery in Rostock was closed in 1532, he went to Wismar in 1533 and returned to the Netherlands in 1534, perhaps via Frankfurt (Oder) , where he died that same year.
His main literary work was a series of sermons on the rosary . Already in 1514 two sermons appeared in Paris with Jodocus Badius Ascensius.
His estate library, which comprised 107 books, was transferred to the library of St. Johannis Monastery in Rostock in 1542 and from there to the library of St. Mary's Church (Rostock) in 1575 . The remainder of the holdings came to the Rostock University Library through purchase in 1842 .
