Johann Willenbrock

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Willenbrock (the elder), also Willebroch , Wilenbroch , Wulenbroch (born June 5, 1531 in Danzig ; † 1606 ) was a German scholar and doctor.

Life

Willenbrock came from a family of scholars in Danzig. In the summer semester of 1545 he began his studies at the University of Königsberg and moved to the University of Wittenberg in November 1545 , where he became a student of Philipp Melanchthon and Erasmus Reinhold . A number of Latin casual poems on weddings and deaths have come down to us from this period . Melanchthon had his poems for the wedding of David Chytraeus appear under Willenbrock's name. On February 22, 1552 Willenbrock was master and included in the Faculty of Arts on May 1, 1554th

In 1556 he continued his medical studies at the University of Padua , where he was consiliarius of the German nation . At the end of the 1550s he came to the court of Archduke Ferdinand II in Prague to assist Pietro Andrea Mattioli . In 1567 he went to Innsbruck with the Archduke as his personal physician . 1572 is reported about his Protestant sentiments . A letter from Gerhard Dorn to him has come down to us from 1584 . Presumably because of his ties to circles affiliated with Paracelsus , Willenbrock was placed on the Librorum Prohibitorum index .

He was married to Barbara Fund († 1592), whose epitaph , probably created by Alexander Colin , has been preserved in the church of Natters . Prague-born son Michael graduated from the University of Altdorf and was in 1586 at the University of Basel to the Dr. med. PhD. Johannes (the younger) also studied in Altdorf; as, as evidenced by the disputations he held in 1592/93, he was born in Danzig, he could also be a nephew. He became a lawyer and was council secretary in Danzig from 1598 to 1612. At the Tyrolean state parliament in 1613, Elias and Julius Willenbroch (Michael's sons?) Were included in the Tyrolean aristocratic registers; however, the family died out here in 1683.

At the end of 2015, an edition of the Greek New Testament from 1545 was identified in the library of Princeton University , which contains a dedication by Willebrock to Martin Chemnitz and handwritten notes by Chemnitz.
