Johannes Bernhardi
Johannes Bernhardi, also: Velcurio, Velcurius, Feldkirchus, Hans Walser on the Red Fountain ; (* around 1490 in Schlins ; † February 6, 1534 in Wittenberg ) was a German rhetorician and physicist.
Life
The son of the judge Hans Bernhardi and his wife (Elsa née Rüchlin), Johannes was born in Schlins , a village near Feldkirch , and was the younger brother of Bartholomäus Bernhardi . In the summer semester of 1512, he followed his brother to the University of Wittenberg , where he obtained a baccalaureate on March 19, 1515 and a master's degree on February 14, 1519 . On June 23, 1520 he was accepted into the philosophical faculty of the academy and in the same year became professor of rhetoric and physics.
In that capacity he also took on organizational tasks at the university and managed the rectorate in the winter semester of 1530 and the vice- rectorate of Justus Jonas the Elder in the winter semester of 1530 . In 1520, under the influence of the Wittenberg movement , he wrote a Confutatio against Augustin von Alveldt , thus standing behind the Wittenberg reformer Martin Luther .
The work he left behind, Epitome librorum Aristotelis de anima , was published in Basel in 1537 by Guillaume Bigot .
