Hinrich Boger , also Böger , Bogher and Latinisert Henricus Flexor (* before 1450 in Höxter ; † March 6, 1505 in Rostock ) was a German poet, theologian and humanist.
Life
Boger received his training from 1471 as a student at the University of Erfurt , where he obtained his master's degree. He traveled to Italy and was awarded a Dr. theol. PhD. From 1471 he made contact with early Italian humanists on several trips to Rome . As a poet, he wrote verses in Latin, particularly on events in the Low German-speaking area. In 1492 he emerged with a Latin poem about the burning of the Jews after the Sternberg host-abuse trial and in 1493 with a speech about the perpetrator who died, the preacher Peter Däne . From this point on he will have stayed in Mecklenburg, where he gained the trust and favor of the Dukes Balthasar and Magnus II , who furnished him with a canonical benefice in Rostock and Güstrow in 1501 , which he soon replaced with exchanged the office of dean of the collegiate monastery associated with the pastor's office at St. Jakobi . He also dedicates one of his poems to the battle of Hemmingstedt in Dithmarschen in 1500. From 1502 to 1504 he traveled again to Italy as the companion of Duke Erich II of Mecklenburg. The Roman German King Maximilian I awarded him the poet's laurel . In the year he died in 1505, he is named as a professor at the University of Rostock . His poems have been published on the initiative of Verden dean Nicholas Schumacher edited even by himself, but only posthumously in 1506 as a print of Offizin Hermann Barckhusens entitled Etherologicum . The poems mentioned and one about the Rostock cathedral feud can be found in a Low German translation as an appendix to the Mecklenburg rhyming chronicle , a manuscript by Ernst von Kirchberg in the Schwerin state archives .
