" Haud dubium est mihi id.

De ce suis ie tout asseuré. Il ny at poynt de doubte. "

- Terentii flores , 1550 (scan 62)

Duisburg

In 1557 Johann Otho had to flee Flanders as a persecuted Protestant . He moved with his family into exile on the Lower Rhine in Duisburg in the Duchy of Kleve under Duke Wilhelm V (1516–1592). In the neighboring Friemersheim Castle Karl von Utenhove the Elder was. Ä. fled. A request from the Dean of Ronse - the Flemish Inquisitor Pieter Titelmans (1501–1572) - to return to Ghent, he did not obey.

In 1558, Otho published a collection of sentences in which he used biblical sayings from Moses , Solomon , Daniel , Jesus Sirach , Jesus , Simon Peter and Paul of Tarsus , quotes from the seven wise men Cleobulus , Solon , Chilon of Sparta , Pittakos , Thales , Bias of Priene and Periander as well as sayings of wisdom from Aristippus , Diogenes , Socrates , Krates , Zeno , Themistocles , Pericles and Iphicrates . He dedicated the book in Duisburg to Jacobus Goesius (van der Goes), a young man ( adulescens ). The Wesel printer Pieter Overd'hage de Zuttere (* 1520; † 1604) put the ancient saying “ sat quercus ” or “ἅλις δρυός, hális dryós ” = “ enough of the oak ” as the motto at the beginning and the end of the book ; Meant: enough of the (old believing) tree “between a crucifix in the cornfield ( veritas = truth ) and the tree of temptation ( umbra = darkness ), which represent the new and the old faith. Peter de Zuttere had taken over the printing works in Wesel from Jodocus Lambrecht (* around 1481; † around 1556/57), who had been a printer for Johann Otho in Ghent, and also modified his printer's mark.

Mag. Johann Otho maintained a private school in Duisburg, where Gerhard Mercator (1512–1594) had his children taught. In 1559, under the rector Heinrich Castritius Geldorp (1522–1585), the Duisburg grammar school was founded, where Otho taught until his death in 1581. The school was attended by around 120 students, including boarding school students from Bremen, Emden and Düsseldorf. Among his colleagues were Johannes Molanus (1510–1583), who became rector in Bremen in 1563, Liz. iur. utr. Cornelius Rhetius (1562 to 1566 in Duisburg) and Mag. Georg Cassander (1512–1566).

"Imago Flandriae" (1604), copperplate engraving by Matthias Quad von Kinckelbach after Johann Otho

Otho discovered a prophecy from the 15th century " Imago Flandriae sive Vaticinium " by Lubertus Hautscilt (1347–1417), abbishop of the Augustinian monastery of St. Bartholomew in Eeckhout near Bruges, and gave it (around 1558?) As a prediction of the events in 1568 in Flanders. In 1567 Karl von Utenhove the Elder made J. made the English Secretary of State William Cecil, 1st Baron Burghley (1521–1598) aware of this prediction and expected it to be fulfilled in the coming year 1568. The pamphlet " Imago Flandriae " by Matthias Quad von Kinckelbach (1557–1613), one Friend of Utenhoves, took up Othos interpretation on the occasion of the siege of Oostende in 1604 .

In 1562, Otho published an Introductio in historiam Romanam (= introduction to Roman history ) and dedicated it to Wilhelm Ketteler (around 1512–1582), the former prince-bishop of Münster (r. 1553–1557) and Jülich-Klevischer councilor. The introduction was addressed to the "youth" Theodor Ketteler. In 1564 the Cologne councilor and Count Palatine Johannes Helmann (around 1529–1579) tried to get a place for his son in Otho's school class through Pedro Ximémez (around 1524; † 1595).

Johann Otho's former student Karl von Utenhove the Elder. J. visited Johann Otho and his family in Duisburg in 1565/66 and dedicated the poem “ Ianus Ottho. Scholae Duyburgensis Gymnasiarcha ”. In the poem he pointed the name Ottho after the Hebrew אתת - 'oṯoṯ (pl .; characters ) in Gen 1.14 EU as a sign to the first elements ( prima elementa ) in which Otthos "elementary" education in Latin, Greek and Already hinted at in Hebrew.

In 1577 after the pacification of Ghent , Johann Otho and his daughter Johanna came to Ghent for a short visit.

Otho was close friends with Gerhard Mercator in Duisburg and owned the two corner houses on "Engen Gasse" (also "Gasse zum Panoven (Pfannofen)" and "Gasse zur Roßmühle", today "Kasinostraße") on Beekstraße, which he later rented . He had already bought the house on the left in 1557 to set up the school there.

family

Johann Otho's wife is mentioned variously, such as in 1557 in a letter from Cornelius Gualtherus (1512–1578) and Georg Cassander to Jan van Utenhove (1516 / 20–1565) in London or in 1559 in a letter from Johannes van der Meulen (Molinaeus) ( * around 1525; † 1575) from Löwen to Cassander in Duisburg. In 1564 Pedro Ximémez sent her greetings from Cologne to Georg Cassander in Duisburg.

Johann's daughter Johanna Otho (* around 1549, † after 1621) was a neo-Latin poet.

Johann Otho's son Daniel Ottho (Hoste, Oste) (* around 1545/55, † probably after 1607) was born in Ghent. In 1566 Johanna Otho mentioned a brother who was currently in Paris . Around 1580 Daniel Ottho came from Duisburg as a Latin teacher at the Ghent University “ten Jacopynen” in the former Dominican or Jacobin monastery (today the “Het Pand” cultural center). His students in Ghent included Daniel Colonius the Elder (van Keulen; Cuelen) (1566–1635), Jan (Joannes) Sygismundus, Wilhelm Baudaert (1565–1640), Joos Laekius (van der Laeck, Lake), Livinus (Liévin) Deynoot, Josias Wibo (Wybout), Louys van den Berghe (Berghius; Montanus) and Philips Gallis (Galle). In April 1584, shortly before the end of the “ Ghent Republic ” , he returned to Germany with his wife and children.

Justus Otho (* around 1580) from Duisburg - very likely a grandson of Johann Othos - enrolled in Heidelberg in 1569. In 1589 "Daniel Ottho, Gandauus Flander" registered in Heidelberg . In 1602 a "Daniel Otto" enrolled there as his old "teacher" in the " Album amicorum " of Wolfgang Marcus Gualtherus (around 1579–1642) from Weinheim ; From 1603 to 1607 a "Daniel Otho" is documented as pastor of Heddesheim near Weinheim.
