Johann Nathin

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johannes August Ernst Nathin also Johannes August Ernst Nathyn (* around 1450 ; † 1529 in Erfurt ) was a German Augustinian monk , theologian, rain of religious studies and teacher of Luther during his general studies in Erfurt and possible travel companion on Martin Luther's trip to Rome if the trip to the older hypothesis 1510/1511 was made from Erfurt.

Live and act

Before the University of Erfurt was founded, general studies were probably only possible in the monastery of the Augustinian hermits. But even after the general studies were incorporated into the University of Erfurt, the Augustinian monastery remained a teaching facility. Johannes Nathin succeeded Johannes von Paltz (1455–1511) at the university around 1489 .

Nathin was a pupil of the scholastic Gabriel Biel , who interpreted the scholastic theology in the sense of Wilhelm von Ockham , he studied in Tübingen under Biel from 1484 to 1486, maybe also until 1488. Nathin is also regarded as a pupil of Wendelin Steinbach . Steinbach held lectures there from 1486 to 1516. Nathin also saved the Augustinian monastery in Tübingen in 1493 by negotiating with the Duke of Württemberg, Eberhard im Bart .

Martin Luther probably heard Nathin's lectures in Erfurt in the summer semester of 1507, but later he was an opponent of Luther and the Reformation. So he accused Luther of perjury on the occasion of his doctoral ceremony in 1512, because in his opinion he should not have been allowed to study at two universities (Erfurt and Wittenberg).
