from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Magister Heinrich Taube von Selbach († October 9, 1364 ), also Henricus Surdus de Selbach , Heinrich Taub , Heinrich the Taube , was a medieval cleric, lawyer and chronicler.

He probably came from a Siegerland knights in ganerbschaft Selbach . The nickname "dove" is z. B. for one or two Soest councilors from this family. From the title “Magister” it can be deduced that Heinrich studied (possibly in Bologna ). From 1328 to 1335 he was procurator at the papal court, the Rota , in Avignon . Probably from 1336 he had a canons prebend at Willibald choir of Eichstätter cathedral and was a in that capacity at the same time chaplain of the Bishop of Eichstaett. In the holy year 1350 he went on a trip to Rome , where on March 14, 1350 he attended the first exhibition of the Veronica's handkerchief. In Eichstätt, under Bishop Berthold von Zollern , he rose to a leading position in the episcopal chancellery and, as an episcopal penitentiary, became head of the penitential system of the diocese. Even as a judge, he is repeatedly in documents called. He remained nominally only owner of the St. Willibalds benefice. 1361 he admired in Nuremberg on the occasion of the birth of the Emperor's son Wenceslaus issued imperial regalia .

With the chronicle of Heinrichs Taube von Selbach, Heinrich wrote a detailed chronicle of imperial and papal politics from 1294 to 1363.

Heinrich's authorship for biographies of six Eichstätt bishops from the period from 1306 to 1355 in the Liber pontificalis ecclesiae Eistorensis is also considered certain.
