Life

Jakob Dachser studied at the University of Ingolstadt , where he received his master's degree in 1523 . In 1526 he came to Augsburg , where he became a school teacher. He converted to the Anabaptists and was appointed in March 1527 with Sigmund Salminger to lead the Augsburg Anabaptist congregation. When he was arrested for his belief in 1527, he revoked his Anabaptist beliefs after prolonged imprisonment.

In 1529 Jakob Dachser became a parish assistant at the St. Ulrich and Afra basilica in Augsburg. In 1552 he left the city and went to Pfalz-Neuburg . In 1538 Jakob Dachser published a translation of the psalms for congregational singing. For the most part he wrote the psalm songs himself; some also come from already known collections, e.g. B. from Martin Luther . Some of these psalms found their way into the German psalter by Sigmund Hemmel .

Jakob Dachser published the hymn book intended for the Reformers in Augsburg, the form and order of spiritual chants and psalms, which are sung to God the Lord in praise and honor .

In this hymn book, which, according to the imprint, dates back to 1529 and is the first evangelical hymn book in Augsburg, there are 86 psalm songs and 23 other sacred chants, including Luther's song A strong castle is our God , but also the polemical , specifically Reformation song Es ist brought the truth to day with the heading True Mind from the Lord's Supper .
