Jobst Ruchamer
Jobst Ruchamer (* before 1486; † 1515 or later) was a Nuremberg doctor and humanist of the early modern period.
Jobst (lat. Jodocus ) Ruchamer is the son of the eponymous dyer Jobst Ruchamer († 1503) and his wife Margreth († 1501/02). He enrolled at the University of Ingolstadt in 1486 and completed his baccalaureate there in 1488. As a scholarship holder of the Konhofer Foundation, he then studied in Pavia , where he received his doctorate in 1494. From 1498 to 1510 he was listed as a doctor in the Nuremberg Office's booklet .
Ruchamer translated the travelogue collection Paesi novamente retrovati , an important document in the history of discovery, published in 1507, into early New High German; Ruchamer's translation was printed in Nuremberg in 1508 with the title Newe vnbekanthe landte .
The last known testimony of Ruchamer so far is his dedication letter to Willibald Pirckheimer in Johannes Schöner's Luculentissima quaedam terrae totius descriptio , which dated April 5, 1515; Bamberg is given as the place .
