Jacob Raven

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jakob Raven (* around 1514 in Plau am See , † 1558 in Antwerp ) was secretary of the Hanseatic offices in Bergen and Antwerp .

Life

Raven studied from 1522 at the University of Rostock and graduated there - late in 1539 - with a master's degree . From 1542 to 1546 he was the successor to Christian Heyster, secretary of the Hansekontor at Bryggen in Bergen and did not extend his contract there himself, but stayed a little longer until the arrival of his successor, Marcus Radloff . In 1546 he was first Secretary of the Council of the Hanseatic City of Rostock and then gave lectures in Deventer . In 1548 he became secretary of the Hanseatic Office in Antwerp as the successor to Nicolaus Wulff, who had been appointed Lübeck council secretary . The Lübeck mountain drivers tried to win Raven again for the office in Bergen in 1550/51 and he was not averse because of the blood dictates of Emperor Charles V , but also fickle because of his admitted seasickness ; In any case, the documented change efforts dragged on until 1551, but in the end Jacob Raven remained active in Antwerp until his death.
