Hartmann Schopper
Hartmann Schopper (* 1542 in Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz , † after 1595) was a neo-Latin poet of humanism . He named himself Novoforensis Noricus after his hometown
Life
Not much is known about Schopper's life. As early as 1547, at the age of 15, he began to write his first elegiac poems, which suggests an excellent school education. From 1563 he had his works published by the Frankfurt printer Feyerabend. In 1566 he took part in the war against the Turks under Emperor Maximilian II and got to know the emperor personally. At the end of the year he returned to Frankfurt due to illness. He died sometime after 1595.
