Felix Fabri , German Schmid , often also (incorrectly) Faber (* around 1438/1439 in Zurich ; † probably March 14, 1502 in Ulm ) was a Dominican and writer who was best known for his evagatory , the extensive and lively report about a trip to the Holy Land . The Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie described him in 1877 as the "most outstanding pilgrim of the 15th century".

Life

Felix Fabri was the son of Jos Schmid and Clara von Issnacht and a nephew of Zurich mayor Rudolf Stüssi . He called himself Fabri and liked to sign with fff (Frater Felix Fabri). In 1452 he entered the convent of the Order of Preachers in Basel on the feast of its patron saint Catherine of Alexandria on November 25th. Exactly a year later he took his religious vows .

Fabri was probably one of the brothers who were sent from Basel to reform the Ulm Convention in 1468. Here he was highly regarded as a reading master and preacher until his death in 1502 . At the same time he was in charge of reformed women's convents in the area as a pastor.

Fabri made a pilgrimage to Aachen in 1467 . On religious matters he traveled to Rome in 1476, in 1482 to Colmar, in 1485 (or 1486) to Nuremberg and in 1486 and 1487 to Venice. Fabri traveled to Palestine twice : 1480 and 1483/84. His pilgrimages took him from Ulm via Jerusalem to the Catherine's Monastery on the Sinai and to Cairo and Alexandria .

Fabri supported the spreading of the rosary prayer, supported by the Dominicans .

Works

Despite the close relationships with book printers (see below), nothing of his extensive literary work was printed during his lifetime. Almost all of Fabri’s previously printed works are now accessible on the Internet .

Evagatorium, the account of the journey to the Holy Land

Handwriting of the Evagatorium

Itinerary, map from 1896

The extensive Latin evagatorium (in German roughly: book of digressions), which contains Fabri's report on the second trip to Palestine in 1483/84, is available in handwritten autograph in Cod. 19555.1.2 of the Ulm City Library. Konrad Dietrich Haßler published it in three volumes from 1843 to 1849. The pilgrimage specialist Folker Reichert is working on a new edition (for the Monumenta Germaniae Historica ) at Stuttgart University . The Hassler edition was first digitized by Austrian Literature Online (ALO) .

On the second pilgrimage, the travel group to which Fabri belonged was temporarily also the Mainz cathedral dean Bernhard von Breidenbach (around 1440–1497), whose travelogue from 1486 had many editions in Latin and German. An envisaged joint travel description, however, did not materialize. Paul Walther from Guglingen also wrote a report about the same trip.

There is no complete printed German translation from Latin. The translation by Herbert Wiegandt , published in 1996, is incomplete and is the only one still available in bookshops.

In 1896 the Palestine Pilgrims' Text Society submitted a two-volume English translation by Aubrey Stewart. However, it is also incomplete.

In 2000/2002 a Latin-French edition was published. A French translation had already appeared in Cairo in 1975 .

The work “not only gives a very vivid description of the adventurous journey, but above all a picture of the geographical, religious and social conditions in the countries visited, based on precise observation. In addition, with numerous historical retrospectives such as digressions into many spiritual areas, it represents a captivating document of the transition from the Middle Ages to the modern era. "

The British writer HFM Prescott (1896–1972), who dedicated three books to Fabris Reisen , expressed herself even more enthusiastically . For them the evagatorium contains “the most elaborate and varied and also the most entertaining mixture of piety and recklessness, cunning and simplicity, keen observation and gullibility that can be imagined, all richly embellished with classical and theological knowledge and seasoned with his brother and his brother's good humor inexhaustible joie de vivre. "

Detail than other writers Fabri describes the procedure with the nobles at the Holy grave in Jerusalem to the grave knights were defeated.

A rhinoceros

In his Evagatorium Felix Fabri describes a rhinoceros that he saw on a hill while crossing the Sinai desert. However, his presentation suggests that he was not describing what he saw, but what he had read about the animal, for example from Pliny , Rabanus Maurus or Albertus Magnus , because what he describes is more similar to the legendary unicorn and is therefore evidence for Fabri's erudition and for the admiration of a creature unknown to the pilgrims. Bernhard von Breidenbach also reported briefly on the sighting of the animal in the distance, which was mistaken for a unicorn and which, according to modern understanding , must be counted among the oryx antelopes . The much later depiction of a Rhinocerus by Albrecht Dürer from 1515, which was based only on descriptions, gave the animal an approximately naturalistic image for the first time in Europe .

Pilgrim book

The German-language short version of the trip, which was completed in 1484, can be described as the pilgrim's book . The autograph is in the Dessau City Library (Georg. Hs. 238. 8 °, Bl. 1–232). There are several copies of the text and manuscripts that have not yet been examined.

In 1556 the pilgrim book was printed in Frankfurt am Main , registered in the directory of the printed books of the 16th century VD 16 in German usage under F 137. In 1557 it appeared again without specifying the place of printing (VD 16 F 137). It became widely known through the slightly shortened recording in Feyerabend's Reyßbuch from 1584, reprinted in 1659. In the edition of 1584 it is on pages 122v to 188, so it takes up over 130 printed pages.

Helmut Roob (Berlin 1964 / Heidelberg 1965) and Gerhard E. Sollbach in 1990 published modern adaptations and excerpts. Without citing the source, Magdalene Kuhn edited excerpts from the text as a pilgrim book of her brother Felix Faber , published in Konstanz in 1955.

In the Zimmerische Chronik , the house chronicler Froben Christoph von Zimmer reports on his grandfather's trip to Palestine, Johannes Werner the Elder von Zimmer (1454–1495), based on Fabris and Breidenbach's reports. Presumably the chronicler had both the Latin evagatory and the pilgrim's book in handwriting or in print.

The history of Swabia

Beginning of the autograph of the description of Swabia

Fabri originally wanted to add the history of Swabia and Ulm as the twelfth and final treatise to his travelogue. But this became his own books: the Descriptio Sueviae and the Tractatus de civitate Ulmensi .

In November 1933, the city of Ulm succeeded in purchasing the autograph of the third volume of the Evagatorium, which had long been believed to be lost, with these two books in the Ulm city library (cod. 19555.3).

The description, or better: History of Swabia, Descriptio Sueviae was printed by Melchior Goldast in 1605 with the title Historia suevorum chosen by him and is recorded in VD 17 with the number 23: 237314E. This and the Ulm reprint from 1727 are available online.

A modern edition is missing. In addition to Goldast's edition, the appendix to the Tractatus edition and the excerpts from Hermann Escher's 1884 Swiss history, again at ALO , have to be used.

Georg Leidinger clarified the relationship between the versions in 1898. In 1488/89 Fabri wrote down a complete version, which he shortened in 1493/94. Goldast printed the shortened version.

Fabri's scholarly work of history is a testimony to the patriotism that emerged at the time and was related to the state of Swabia , which older researchers liked to call tribal patriotism . The native of Zurich writes pro-Habsburg and anti-federal.

Treatise from the city of Ulm

The Latin Tractatus de civitate Ulmensi is also preserved in the autograph in the Ulm City Library: Cod. 19555.3. Both the Latin edition by Gustav Veesenmeyer 1889, available for inspection at ALO , and the German translation printed in 1909 by Konrad Dietrich Haßler the Younger are digitized on the Internet. An essay from 1870, Veesenmeyer's preliminary work for the edition, is also available online as a facsimile.

Fabris Tractatus is a systematic description of the city with strong historiographical elements and a significant attempt to treat the constitution of a late medieval German city in a monograph . There is no detailed interpretation of this text from more recent times.

The Fabri autographs with the signature 19 555.1-3 of the Ulm City Library, i.e. Evagatorium, Descriptio Sueviae and Tractatus de Civitate Ulmensi , were filmed and digitized in May 2008.

In 2012, Folker Reichert presented a new Latin-German edition based on the autograph in the Bibliotheca Suevica series .

The Sion pilgrims

The German-language treatise Die Sionpilger from 1492 represents a “spiritual pilgrimage” , Fabri's first work, of which there was a modern edition (Wieland Carls 1999). The excerpts from his pilgrimage reports, which were written by himself and intended for Dominican women, were intended to enable the pilgrimage to be understood in the homeland as an exercise of piety. During the weeks of the spiritual pilgrimage, the nuns imagined what they would see in the Holy Land or on the journey and what prayers they would offer.

The oldest manuscript that can be found as cod. 9727 located in the Ulm City Archives, dates from 1493. Further textual witnesses exist in the Württembergische Landesbibliothek Stuttgart (Cod. Theol. Et phil. 4 ° 143), originated in Ulm 1494, and in Vienna, Schottenstift Cod. 413 from 1495 from the Dominican convent Medingen. The manuscript of the Berlin Royal Museum, from which Röhricht / Meisner published extracts, was lost by the end of 2009. She was found again in St. Petersburg .

The text was the template for a spirit pilgrimage from Medingen to Jerusalem, handwritten in Innsbruck, Ferdinandeum Cod. FB 3172. The manuscript is said to have been made in 1488, so the text would have to be based on an earlier version.

Rhymed pilgrim book

Fabri described the first pilgrimage of 1480 in 1064 rather awkward German verses, signed at the very end trei fff The little pilgrimage book published by Anton Birlinger in 1864 is only preserved in a copy of a brother Johannes Dillinger's 1482 in Cgm 359 of the Bavarian State Library .

As a supplement to this article, it has also been available on Commons as a facsimile and on Wikisource as e-text since 2006 . In 2008 Max Schiendorfer published a transcription of the manuscript on the Internet.

Sermons and German tracts

In an Augsburg (formerly Harburg ) manuscript, Karin Schneider discovered previously unknown German sermons by Felix Fabris, four signed, three anonymous. She was also able to add an Easter sermon cycle with four sermons edited by an unknown preacher in Cgm 4375, Bl. 201v-227, and an anonymous Christmas sermon in Cgm 5140, Bl. 270-311v to Fabris' oeuvre.

The author's lexicon only mentions one German sermon in Berlin mgq 124 from Inzigkofen on Luke 7:36. In reality, these are two sermons that Fabri gave in the Cistercian abbey of Heggbach: a sacramental sermon on the body and blood of Christ and a sermon on God's love to man and his incarnation (Luke 1:28).

While studying the repertory of the unprinted German-language sermons of the Middle Ages , Jacob Klingner was able to locate other text witnesses in Berlin manuscripts. He was able to identify five other sermons and two better traditions of known sermons. According to Klingner, it is very likely that four other sermons also came from Fabri. With these, the number of known German-language sermons has increased to 23.

Unedited and unresearched are two extensive treatises in the Berlin mgq 1588 (manuscript from 1504 from Obermedlingen):

  • Biechlin from the Incarnation of Jesus Christ and will genempt the hirtlin
  • Tractetli of the Eternal Selikait

Berlin mgq 1121 (manuscript from 1474-1487, from the Dominican convent Obermedlingen) contains a short treatise on the suffering of Christ .

Augsburg UB, Cod. III.2.8 ° 58 (manuscript after 1502, from the Dominican convent Medingen) contains an extensive Eucharistic treatise ( underwelling of the noble sacrament ), which is still awaiting research and edition.

A free translation of a Latin treatise by the Stuttgart Dominican Johannes Prausser is Von dem regiment der Andechtigen widows , handed down in Karlsruhe cod. St. Georgen 102 from 1481.

More fonts

A history of the Dominican convent Gnadenzell in Offenhausen from 1499, which the Tübingen professor Martin Crusius used in his Latin Annales Suevici in 1595/96, has not survived . The presentation was characterized by the endeavor to delimit the time before the reform and the massive decline of the discipline from the time after the reform in 1480, which Fabri / Crusius describe in detail.

A writing about the siege of Rhodes by the Turks and a writing about the stay in Venice in 1480 are also lost. Fabri mentions both in other works.

Collaboration with printers and book ownership

The Ulm book printer Johann Zainer was, as it were, the “in-house printer” of the Ulm Dominicans. In at least two cases, Fabri's collaboration as proofreader and register creator can be proven. Presumably he was also involved in other Zainer prints. A copy of the Ulm edition of the sermons of Leonhard von Utino, printed by Johann Zainer in 1475, the register of which was created by Fabri based on a handwritten note in him, was in the possession of the nun of the Dominican convent in Obermedlingen , Margarethe Schleicher, probably as a gift from Fabri. In another print of the Utino sermons (Hain 16119 / GW M17992 ), which Zainer made on March 14, 1478, Fabri is expressly mentioned. He made an extensive register ( tabula ) to help future preachers. It was given its own preface, which Fabri dedicated to his Ulm prior Ludwig Fuchs. Both registers combine subject and name registers and each refer to the sermon number and other subsections marked in the sermon text.

The first German edition of Heinrich Seuse's works appeared in Augsburg in 1482 by Anton Sorg . For a long time, research considered it likely that Fabri compiled the texts for it, because in the second edition of Augsburg 1512 by Johann Othmar it is said that the scattered information on Seuse's vitae had "the willig leßmaister bru ° the Felix Fabri in ° Ulm [... ] Read carefully to ° seeds and put them in order in Latin “. However, the time of the first and second printing, the choice of templates and the type of editing of the Seuse prints hardly allow a certain conclusion that Fabri was involved; the remark quoted could only refer to a (now lost) Latin Seuse vita, to which the Othmar preface falls back. A Latin Seuse Vita Fabris, which according to Martin Gerbert preceded a manuscript with Seuse works in the Wengenkloster in Ulm, must be considered lost - unless one assumes that Gerbert only saw the Othmar print from 1512 during his visit to the Wengenkloster Has. A Polish manuscript from the 16th century, in which researchers long wanted to see the translation of this Seuse vita, has nothing to do with a missing Fabri text. It is a relatively literal translation of the Othmar print from 1512.

There is currently only one other printed book that Fabri provided with handwritten marginal notes: an Ulm incunabula of Alvarus Pelagius from 1474, which is in the Ulm City Library under the call number 14975.

His Basel convent owned two manuscripts in which Fabri left traces, both now in the Basel University Library . On the front cover of Cod. B VI 6, Fabri names himself as the owner of the manuscript and son of the Basel Convention. In the theological collective manuscript OI 8, Fabri wrote a table of contents, which a brother H. Fuchs noted in an entry.

Appreciation

Fabri was not a humanist , but a scholar who was open to the intellectual innovations of his time. For Herbert Wiegandt, in a contribution from 2003, he was a living personality on the threshold of the Middle Ages and modern times, still secured in his worldview, but with a new thirst for knowledge, new realism, new individual experience .

reception

Brother Felix became the hero of a bestseller , namely the mystery novel by US author Sheri Holman ( A Stolen Tongue , 1997, German: The stolen tongue ), which was translated into 11 languages ​​and based on Fabri's travel description.

In 2006, quotations from the English translation were communicated daily in a weblog .

In September 2016, a scientific conference in Ulm was devoted to the work of the Dominican. The conference proceedings Die Welt des Frater Felix Fabri appeared in 2018.

Honors

In Ulm, the former Ludwig Heilmeyer Hall in the Grüner Hof was renamed the Felix Fabri Hall in 2018 .
