Life

Joachim Negelein was born in Nuremberg on September 9, 1675. From an early age he distinguished himself as inquisitive. He received his first instruction at the St. Selbald School in Nuremberg and from a private teacher. He already received such a thorough scientific education that at the age of 14 he was able to become tutor to the assessor Hieronymus Felix Welser near Altdorf . From this position as private tutor he went to Altdorf University every day to attend lectures, although he did not have enough money to go to university. Therefore he returned to Nuremberg, where he became secretary to the local scholar and patrician Johann Christoph Tucher von Simmelsdorf (* 1654). Not only was he allowed to use the scholar's extensive library, von Simmelsdorf also ensured that Negelein could attend learned lectures. At the same time he was privately tutored by the esoteric Johann Kelpius .

Having been trained in this way, Negelein was able to move into Altdorf University in 1693 and attend lectures. He mainly studied theology, but also dealt with older languages. In addition, he dealt with newer languages, especially French , English and Italian . He was particularly proficient in Latin , which he learned through disputation exercises. In 1694 he defended his dissertation De psychologia platonica , which, however, remained just as unpublished as his inaugural dissertation from 1697, De majestate motui analoga , for which he received his master's degree . After that, Negelein wanted to leave the university, but was able to continue his studies because he became the tutor of the esteemed family von Kolberg. To complete his training, he continued to attend lectures, but also gave his own and continued to practice disputing.

In May 1700 Negelein traveled to England and the Netherlands with his private student . There he made friends with some scholars, and he was allowed to represent a preacher several times. He traveled twice with his pupil to Utrecht , where he learned the oriental languages. Johann Georg Graevius recommended him to the Jesuits Daniel Papebroch and Janning in Antwerp . Negelein traveled there via Dordrecht and was warmly received by the Jesuits; at the library of the Jesuit school he continued his studies. He then traveled to Brussels by water , from there to Mechelen and finally to Leuven . Via Herzogenbusch and Breda , among others , he traveled back to Utrecht, where he gave sermons in the evangelical congregation, which were greeted with applause. He then traveled via Leiden and Rotterdam to Gouda , from there to Brielle and on to England. For seven weeks he stayed in London , which he studied in detail. There, too, he made the acquaintance of some scholars. He then went to Greenwich , visited the local observatory and traveled on via Richmond , Chelfen and Windsor to Oxford , where he visited the Bodleian Library . After a stay in Cambridge he returned to London.

Back in Nuremberg in 1701 he was given the post of catechist at the orphanage. The following year he became a midday preacher for the Dominicans , another year later he became a deacon of the Church of the Holy Spirit. From 1709 he was a deacon of St. Lorenz . In 1713 the Pegnese Flower Order accepted him under the name Florando . After he became Antistes of the Marienkirche in 1720 , he was appointed professor of rhetoric , poetry and the Greek language at the Aegidianum in 1724 . In 1725 he gave his inaugural lecture de Ulysse litterario there . On the occasion of the anniversary of the Augsburg Confession in 1730 he was able to preach again in the Augustinian monastery . In 1732 he became president of the Pegnese Flower Order. In the same year the St. Lorenzkirche appointed him their preacher, later Negelein also became inspector of the Nuremberg preachers candidates . As such, he died of an ischemic stroke on June 24, 1749 .

Act

Negelein combined religiosity with professional loyalty and had a thorough knowledge of the whole of theology. He was particularly familiar with the theology of the older languages, but also dealt intensively with literature. The eleven-volume Thesaurus numismatum hodiernoum , which Negelein published from 1700 to 1710, testifies to his outstanding knowledge of numismatics and his meticulous diligence. His sermons and ascetic writings are partly of moral content.

Negelein published parts of his sermons in collections; he also composed sacred songs and occasional Latin poems. He also translated.
