Henricus Bodo

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Henricus Bodo , also Heinrich Bodo and Latinized Henricus Angelonius (born between 1463 and 1505 in Alfeld ; died around 1553 near Nörten-Hardenberg ), was a German clergyman and chronicler and abbot in the Marienstein monastery .

Life

In 1505 he became a monk in the Benedictine monastery Clus near Gandersheim. 1523-1532 he wrote a handwritten chronicle of this monastery, which is preserved as Chronica cenobii Clusini in the Herzog August library . Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz published excerpts from this in 1710 in Scriptores rerum Brunsvicensium . The chronicle serves today as source material on the early history of the Bursfeld congregation , which introduced monastery reforms in Ebstorf, Isenhagen, Lüne and Walsrode. He also wrote a text on Gandersheim Abbey .

He is considered to be an important contemporary witness for the Bursfeld monastery reform movement and its consequences that began with Abbot Johann Dederoth von Clus. Among other things, he took part in the general capitals of the Bursfeld Congregation . The chronicle of the Clus monastery that he wrote deals in particular with the period from 1500 onwards. He also completed the chronicle of the Gandersheim monastery in 1532. It shows the history of the monastery in the order of the abbesses. He also referred to the Primordia coenobii Gandeshemensis written by the poet Hrotsvit before 973 , an old chronicle poetry that Bodo had found in the archives of the monastery around 1525. This manuscript was later lost.

From 1541 to 1553 he was Abbot of Marienstein.
