Friedrich Pensold

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Friedrich Pensold also: Pensoldus Penicillus (born September 2, 1530 in Weida ; † October 9, 1589 in Jena ) was a German philologist and physicist.

Life

Little can be said about the origin of Pensold, because the documented evidence of the city in Weida was burned at that time. What is certain, however, is that Pensold enrolled at the University of Wittenberg on May 15, 1551 . It would not be unusual if he had family contacts with the Magister Thomas Pentzelt from Weida. At that time in Wittenberg, Philipp Melanchthon , Caspar Peucer , Veit Winsheim , Sebastian Theodoricus and Paul Eber were important teachers at the university, from whom he was sure to have received many tools for his further development. However, it is still certain that Pensold acquired the academic degree of a master’s degree in philosophy on March 5, 1555 in Wittenberg. After he could prove that he also taught, he completed his habilitation on October 18, 1556 at the philosophy faculty of the university and was accepted into the senate of the same.

On Melanchthon's recommendation he became a teacher of the Pomeranian princes Bogislaw XIII. , Ernst Ludwig and Barnim X. For this he was appointed professor for Greek language and poetics at the University of Greifswald on November 14, 1556 , which office he took up on November 25. After he had become dean of the philosophical faculty on March 21, 1559, he resigned his professorship in poetics to Zacharias Orthus in the same year . Due to the synergistic dispute , he gave up his Greifswald professorship and moved back to Wittenberg in April 1562. In the same year Pensold was appointed professor of Greek language and literature as well as physics at the University of Jena . He followed this call in 1563 and was Dean of the Faculty of Philosophy in 1564 and 1568. As a follower of Melanchthon's doctrines, however, he had to give way to pressure from the Gnesiolutherans and was suspended in 1569 because of synergism.

It is certainly thanks to his good contact with Caspar Peucer that on October 15, 1569 he found a new position as third teacher at the electoral Saxon state school in St. Afra in Meißen . Here he was also rector of the educational institution on November 5, 1571. When the Philippists were removed from the Saxon state services in 1574, Pensold was also hit. Although he had signed the Torgau Articles of 1574, he was dismissed from his service in Meissen on August 16, 1574. On March 20, 1576, however, Pensold was able to return to his professorship in Jena. After he had been rector of the Alma Mater in the winter semester of 1578/79 , he resigned his professorship in Greek language and literature in 1580 and was only professor of physics, which he remained until the end of his life.
