Johann Rudel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Rudel , also Rüdel (* in Frankfurt am Main ; † January 17, 1563 in Lübeck ) was a German legal scholar and syndic of the Hanseatic City of Lübeck .

Life

Johann Rudel was the eldest son of four children of the Frankfurt early printer and bookbinder Wilhelm Rudel . Rudel studied law at the University of Leipzig from the winter semester 1519/1520 and moved to the University of Heidelberg on November 11, 1522 . He received his doctorate in law. In 1527 he obtained the edition of a Biblia Sacra with 25 woodcuts by the Worms woodcutter Anton Woensam from the Cologne printer Peter Quentel , which he dedicated to the City Council of Frankfurt. The Vulgate edition was based on that of Andreas Osiander and also contained the 3rd Book of the Maccabees . This first "Frankfurt" Bible edition, which clearly bears Reformation features, was suppressed by the Archbishops of Cologne and is therefore relatively rare today. You and Rudel's part in it were forgotten, so that Johann Moller did not mention it in his biography of Rudels, and this Bible was only made known again by Johann Ludolf Bünemann . Johann Melchior Goeze called it a highly prized gem in his biblical collection.

From the middle of 1532 Rudel taught law as a professor at the University of Marburg and became its rector in 1534/1535. In 1536 he entered the Polish service and in early 1539 he became Syndicus of the Hanseatic City of Lübeck. In 1548 and 1549 he represented the city at the Reichstag in Augsburg . On June 29, 1561 he was knighted as a member of the Lübeck embassy for the coronation celebrations of King Erik XIV of Sweden in Uppsala . It is possible that his honorary enrollment at the University of Rostock took place in the winter semester 1562/63 . He was buried in the Marienkirche in Lübeck . His successor as the first lawyer of Lübeck was Hermann von Vechtelde , who had been in Lübeck's service as the second lawyer since 1559.

Rudel's daughter Justine married Professor Laurentius Kirchhoff from Rostock .
