Johann Glandorp

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Glandorp (born August 1, 1501 in Münster , † February 22, 1564 in Herford ) was a German humanist, educator, poet, Protestant theologian and reformer.

Life

Glandorp was born the son of a tailor in Münster and received his education at the cathedral school in his hometown. At the age of 17 he went to Rostock , returned to Münster in 1522 and became a teacher at the cathedral school. In 1529 he went to Wittenberg and became a pupil of Philipp Melanchthon there . The friendship with the little older "Praeceptor" made him visit him more often.

When Münster turned to the Reformation , Glandorp was to take over a large Latin school there in 1532, which was established in the Minorite monastery . This did not last long. Since he turned against Bernhard Rothmann and the contestants of infant baptism, he had to leave the city in February 1534. The Soest Council offered him a preaching position, but Glandorp did not accept it. He asked Landgrave Philip I to accept him in Hesse, and in 1534 he gave him the professorship for history that Hermann von dem Busche had held before him in Marburg .

Since he was more interested in educational tasks and he knew the importance of the school for the church, he left Marburg in 1536 to take over the management of the Latin schools in Braunschweig in 1536, in Hameln for a short time in 1551, in Hanover from 1551–1555 Goslar and 1560 in Herford.

Glandorp's humanistic skills were so highly valued that Ludwig Geiger could call him the "classic of humanism". A distich written by Glandorp adorns the title page of the world-famous revision course on Latin syntax and stylistics (1871, 17th edition 1979) by Hermann Menge .
