Jakob Ziegler (theologian)
Jakob Ziegler , also Jacobus Lateranus or Jacobus Zeiglerius (* around 1470 in Landau an der Isar , † August 1549 in Passau ) was a German theologian , mathematician , astronomer , geographer and humanist .
Life
Ziegler's critical commentary on the second book of “ Natural History ” by Pliny had a great impact . He brought this out in 1531, and also added a section with astronomical notes by Georg Tannstetter ("Collimitius") - these were based on teaching texts that had been written down by Tannstetter's pupil Joachim Vadian .
As a (short-term) professor of theology in Vienna , Ziegler was the author of the book Schondia über Palestine (1532), which included seven maps explaining the Holy Scriptures and a map of Scandinavia .
Ziegler traveled a lot throughout his life. After a stay in Rome initially opposed to the Pope , he fell out with supporters of the Reformation and was finally accepted by Passau's bishop Wolfgang von Salm .

Individual evidence
- ↑ Description of the picture: around 1544-49 on a linden wood panel
- ↑ So explained at the end of this “Scholia”. This Tannstetter lecture must have been given by 1518 at the latest, since Vadian left Vienna that year. The book title and the page heading name both names next to each other, so that one could mistakenly think of a joint effort by both.
