Johann Rudolph Anton Piderit

Johann Rudolph Anton Piderit (also Johann Rudolf Anton Piderit ) (born August 18, 1720 in Pyrmont , † August 2, 1791 in Kassel ) was a German Protestant theologian and university professor.

Life

Johann Rudolph Anton Piderit was born as the son of the doctor Christoph Anton Piderit. The birth took place in Pyrmont because his mother had traveled to her sick husband, heavily pregnant; he died before his son was born. From there she returned to Homberg (Efze) .

He spent his youth in Homberg and attended the school there. In 1737 he began studying theology at the University of Jena and attended lectures by Georg Christoph Stellwag (1711–1740), Friedrich Andreas Hallbauer , Friedrich Paul Wolfarth (1719–1786), Johann Peter Reusch , Joachim Georg Darjes , Joachim Ehrenfried Pfeiffer , Caspar Jakob Huth (1711–1760), Johann Georg Walch and Johann Georg Estor , he learned the Italian language from Johann Elias Greifenhahn (1687–1749). Although he still disputed under Friedrich Paul Wolfarth in 1738, he had to give up his studies at the end of the same year for financial reasons and temporarily traveled to Erfurt before continuing his studies as a Reformed theologian at a state university from 1739. For this purpose, he studied philosophy , philology and theology at the University of Marburg and heard lectures from the philosopher Christian Wolff , who particularly influenced him; He heard further lectures with Johann Christian Kirchmayer , Johann Siegmund Kirchmayer (1674–1749), Johann Joachim Schröder , Franz Ulrich Ries and Johann Tilemann ; on October 11 and November 10, 1741, he took the theological exams in Marburg and Kassel and became a candidate for the ministerial office, in which he tried at first, but then realized that he was more drawn to academic life he returned to Marburg in 1745 . On November 9, 1745 he received his doctorate as Dr. phil. at the University of Marburg; in the same year he completed his habilitation in the philosophical faculty in Marburg and was given permission to give lectures. In order to acquire this right in the theological faculty, he was accepted as a licentiate in 1746 . On June 27, 1747, he received the full professorship for philosophy.

In 1759 he received his doctorate in theology under David Samuel Daniel Wyttenbach and Heinrich Otto Duysing (1719–1781).

In order to support the students, who came from Poland and Hungary, in their linguistic training, he did some Latin preaching exercises every week and had the Psalms of David printed from a Dutch copy. This led to the fact that the Ephorus of the scholarship holders, Professor Johann Wilhelm Krafft, appealed against this, on the grounds that these exercises belonged to his area of ​​responsibility, so that Johann Rudolph Anton Piderit had to give up these exercises without having to continue them later.

He tried an understanding between the Protestant and Catholic Church to bring about and dedicated in 1750 a new edition of the treatises of Ludovicus Bologninus and Felinus Sandeus De indulgentiis the Pope Benedict XIV. And the further signature of the keys of the kingdom Johann Friedrich Karl von Ostein , Archbishop and Elector from Mainz . However, the latter considered the writings to be anti-Catholic and felt mocked by the dedication: he complained to the Landgrave of Hesse Wilhelm VIII , who immediately had the books confiscated. Some time later, the Frankfurt representative of the imperial book commissioner Franz Xaver Anton von Scheben threatened the publisher, and Johann Rudolph Anton Piderit was also able to demonstrate that he had not violated any laws which were directed against the respect of the archbishop. The Landgrave then no longer hindered the further dissemination of both writings, but tacitly tolerated them.

In the years 1750, 1753 and 1758 Johann Rudolph Anton Piderit was Dean of the Philosophical Faculty and in the years 1758–1760 Prorector of the University of Marburg; due to his efforts as rector, a Sauvegarde was deployed to ward off attacks on the university and its property during the Seven Years' War . In 1758 he was the deputy pedagogical arch of the pedagogy in Marburg.

Wilhelm VIII assigned him on January 18, 1760, through the Privy Council of Friedrich August von Hardenberg , the regulation of billeting and the police in the Upper Principality . In 1760 he prevented a general pillage of Marburg, threatened by the French general Louis Marie Bretagne de Rohan-Chabot during the Seven Years' War . In the presence of the English ambassador, the Hardenberg Secret Council praised him for his work in Marburg and called him the Joseph of the Upper Duchy . Duke Ferdinand also praised him.

After the death of Wilhelm VIII. On February 1, 1760 was chaplain ministry reshuffled, this meant that on 12 December 1761 a rescript of Ferdinand II ., Which was ordered that a commission will used that obsignieren his writings (to be judicially sealed) and to examine the budget he was running during the Vice-Rectorate, but at the same time he should continue to give his academic lectures. It took some time for the Gravamina against him to be completed, and only because he asked the Commission for it several times. Piderit was able to justify the allegations, but he also insisted that the prosecutor be named to him, whereupon the academic senate announced, "... that he would not take part in the complaints that had occurred against Professor Piderit." the length and only on January 3, 1769 he received from the commission the Absolutorium . For his services during the war he was valued by most of his colleagues until their death, namely Johann Georg Estor , Johann Nicolaus Funck (1715–1755), Professor at the Marburg Pedagogy, Philipp Jacob Borel (1715–1760), Christoph Friedrich Geiger (1712–1767), David Samuel Daniel Wyttenbach and Johann Franz Coing (1725–1792).

Transfer to Kassel

Although he consistently gave both his lectures and pulpit sermons, he was denied the full theological professorship. Shortly before his appointment was imminent, however, he was transferred to the newly founded Collegium Carolinum in Kassel ; an extension of the University of Marburg decided by Landgrave Friedrich II. To this end, the then curator of the university, the secret minister of state Leonhard Heinrich Ludwig Georg von Canngiesser (1716–1772), revealed to him on March 10, 1766 that the landgrave had given him the professorship of oriental languages ​​and philosophy at the Collegium Carolinum and made him professor at the same time primarius , the rescript for this was given to him on May 9, 1766.

Despite his appointment as professor primarius, his further circumstances worsened because he lost his free apartment in Marburg and he would not have an auditorium in Kassel comparable to that in Marburg. The minister assured him, however, that the first vacant preaching position in Kassel would go to him, which he could then hold alongside his professorship. According to the rescript, he was only intended to teach oriental languages ​​and philosophy, but, as he had already done in Marburg, as a doctor of theology, he would make use of his right to teach this science in Kassel, especially since there was no one at the Collegio Carolinum, who was able to hold these lectures prescribed by the new statutes. His announced lectures on theological dogmatics , church history of the Old Testament and homiletics were approved by the curator, whereupon he published his dissertation de demonstrationum in Theologia revelata meritis . In this work in 1767 he tried to show that it is not enough to simply accept the divine things that the Holy Scriptures reveal as true, but that the Scriptures guide one to come to independent insight. This led to the fact that the consistory accused him of having published an offensive doctrine and that in future he was not allowed to print anything theological any more without first obtaining the approval of the censorship of the spiritual ministry. His request to name a prosecutor and list the offensive points was unsuccessful. However, he was further accused of having stressed the Spirit of God too much and the Holy Scriptures too little in his teaching lectures, so that he was accused of naturalism and fanaticism .

He wrote theses for a new dissertation that corresponded to those in the criticized dissertation and handed them over under the title T heses ex universa Theologia secundum confessionem doctorum reformatae ecclesiae Censur . In these sentences there was not a single sentence that he had formulated himself, but literal excerpts from generally recognized writings of respected theologians. The ecclesiastical ministry found that these theses were even more offensive than the previously printed dissertation and the report on it, with the result that on May 5, 1767, he was banned from teaching theology and banned from creating scriptures. His defense, his request for restitution and his request for a hearing were unsuccessful. The curator of Canngiesser threatened him rather that he could face difficult circumstances for himself and his family if he did not give up, although he was personally convinced of his innocence. To avoid endangering his family and himself further, he took no further action.

On the advice and with the support of Minister of State Jacob Sigismund Waitz von Eschen , he founded the first Casselian political newspaper in April 1769 and published it until the end of 1789.

In 1775 he wrote his first contribution to the defense and explanation of the canon of Holy Scripture and the Christian religion . Thereupon he received not only from the clergy of the Landgraviate of Hessen-Kassel , but also from respected theologians, namely Christian August Crusius in Leipzig , Christian Wilhelm Franz Walch in Göttingen , Johann Augustin Dietelmair (1717–1785) in Altdorf and from the theological faculty in Herborn much encouragement and applause.

In 1774, Professor Johann Wilhelm Christian Gustav Casparson , as Vice Rector of the Collegium Carolinum, said in a program on human education: “I don't like to believe that an innocent child, regardless of original sin, is born so black and evil; Such poor souls may convince systematic morality through syllogisms that they are abominable people. "Piderit quoted this passage in a letter to the clergy, without, however, naming the author, as proof of" ... how bold and bold We are happy to spread Socinian opinions in the face of the church and to mishandle our creeds in a beautiful spirit. ”In the Collegium Carolinum there was a deputation in which both the councilor Johann Wilhelm Christian Gustav Casparson and the council Rudolf Erich Raspe were permanent members . This deputation complained on March 11, 1775 with a complaint to the directorate of the Collegium Carolinum that Professor Piderit, contrary to the instructions of the consistory and without informing the censorship of the clerical ministry, had theological writings printed in which he had Professor Casparson because of the statement on the Made original sin his Socinian. This was followed by a resolution on March 17, 1775 by the curator and secret minister of state Lieutenant General Martin Ernst von Schlieffen , in which Professor Piderit was reproached that this time mercy was still right, but that in future he would allow all theological publications and quotes from his colleagues have failed. His reply was not noted. Subsequently, the accusation was raised that he was a blind Orthodox , since in these writings he attacked the historical-critical methodology and individual representatives of the Enlightenment theology. In the course of this dispute, which was conducted publicly, he called the Corpus Evangelicorums in Regensburg . On September 27, 1776, he was reprimanded and his writings were cashed. This resulted in a loss of property, which led him to send a petition to the sovereign. The director of the Higher Appeal Court, Carl Philipp Kopp , immediately stood up for him, so that he was pardoned on October 4, 1776, and he was again given permission to hold theological lectures.

In 1779 he attempted a union between the Catholic and Protestant churches. The program for this was published in 1781 in the anonymously published publication Introduction and Draft for the Attempts at a Religious Union of various Catholic and Protestant persons who have united in one society . However, the Ministry of Spirituality did not allow him to do theological work, so he ceased to work in this regard.

When Wilhelm IX. In 1785, when he took up his post as Landgrave, he was informed that Professor Piderit had renounced the theological teaching post due to his socian principles; this was obviously a mistake for another clergyman. It got so far, however, that on April 13, 1786, Johann Rudolph Anton Piderit had to submit a justification to the Landgrave for the allegation of socianism.

Johann Rudolph Anton Piderit was first married to Margaretha Elisabeth (* unknown; † August 24, 1772), a daughter of the chancellery Johann Christian Scheuffler, since 1748. In 1776 he married Kunigunde, a daughter of the rent master Duntz from Marburg in second marriage.

He had eight sons and daughters:

• Johann Christian Piderit (born February 9, 1749 in Marburg; † unknown), studied theology and mathematical sciences at the University of Marburg and at the Collegium Carolineum in Kassel with Johann Konrad Spangenberg and Johann Matthias Matsko . Later he studied oriental languages ​​in Vienna.
• Philipp Jacob Piderit (born August 20, 1753 in Marburg, † 1817), Dr. med., Oberhofrat and Vice Director of the Medical College in Kassel;
• Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Piderit (* 1759 in Marburg; † 1798), staff captain in the regiment of Kospoth-Charitee, inspector in Bettenhausen;
• Daniel Piderit (* May 7, 1764; † unknown), studied mathematical sciences with Johann Matthias Matsko;
• Carl Friedrich Piderit (born October 29, 1766; † unknown);
• Christoph Anton Friederich Piderit (April 1769; † unknown);
• Catharine Elisabeth Piderit (* April 1770; † unknown);
• Susanne Katharine Dorothea Margarethe Elisabet Piderit (born January 12, 1774; † unknown), married to Johann Valentin Fiegenheim, lawyer at the court and procurator;
• Christian Georg Ludwig Piderit (born April 28, 1777; † unknown).

Conflict with Professor Johann Wilhelm Krafft over the scriptural authority of the Holy Scriptures

In 1752, Johann Rudolph Anton Piderit was asked by several students to prepare a disputation for them and to take over the presidency of the subsequent dispute. Thereupon he wrote de errobus Theologorum logicis circa sacram scripturam and gave it to the university printer for printing. The then vice dean, Professor Krafft, had the first three sheets fetched from the printing works in the absence of the dean, Professor Henrich Otto Duysing, and on August 12, 1752, accused Piderit of claiming that the Holy Scriptures were not God's word. Piderit disagreed and offered that as soon as a complete copy of the dissertation was printed, he would send it to Professor Krafft so that he could present the relevant critical remarks, which should then be removed from the text. However, Professor Krafft did not accept this offer, but complained to the then Vice-Rector, Professor Kahl, both verbally and in writing, demanding that the disputation be confiscated and the sovereign be notified. The prorector wanted to obtain the opinion of the academic senate before taking these measures, but Professor Krafft demanded that the philosophical faculty be excluded because it was not allowed to judge the theological faculty in matters of faith. This was ordered accordingly and the printer was forbidden to publish the dissertation, and the sovereign was informed, if he was threatened with a fine of fifty Reichstalers.

On August 27, 1752, Piderit presented his conversation with Professor Krafft to the Vice-Rector, who then suggested asking Professor Krafft to withdraw his complaint. In the meantime, however, the sovereign had been notified and the confiscation of the dissertation was ordered on August 29, 1752.

In the meantime, the Senate announced that Piderit had only assessed the theologians' usual definitions of the Holy Scriptures in his dispute, and indicated that it could be concluded from this that Holy Scripture was not God's word, but only an outward written expression of it. To conclude from this that the quotations are also Piderit's opinion would be wrong.

After the ordered investigation by the curator of the university, the secret minister of state Friedrich von Eyben , had been successfully completed for Piderit, the sovereign ordered superintendent Johann Christoph Ungewitter that Piderit should give the court sermon next Sunday, at which the prince was also present will be. Some time later on January 9, 1753, his salary was increased. In addition to his lectures on dogmatics and harmony, he now often gave pulpit sermons and accompanied those condemned to death to the place of execution.

Memberships

• On November 14, 1764, the Princely Anhalt German Society of Bernburg accepted him as an honorary member .
• On August 16, 1777 he received the patent as a full member of the Society of Antiquities. There he gave lectures that were not in the interests of the Landgrave's court and were observed by the Society's secretary, Jean-Louis Barbot de Luchet .

Honors

On the basis of his writings published in 1775 and 1776, contributions to the defense and explanation of the Canon of the Holy Scriptures and the Christian religion in general , he received a gold medal from the ruling Duke Friedrich von Mecklenburg-Schwerin, which is inscribed: in signum virtutis, artis et scientiarum .
