Johannes Bonrade

Johannes Bonrade (* Lübeck ; † February 20, 1448 in Cologne ) was a lawyer, university professor and cathedral dean of the Lübeck cathedral chapter .

Life

Bonrade came from Lübeck, it is unclear whether from the city or the area of ​​the Diocese of Lübeck . He first studied Artes Liberales at the (old) University of Paris , where he became a professor at the artists' faculty in 1394. In Paris he was a member and procurator of the German nation , which also supported him financially in his academic career. In Paris only canon law was taught. Bonrade carried the corresponding title Licentiatus decretorum . After 1407 he moved to the old University of Angers , which he represented as envoy at the Council of Constance from 1414-1418 . In Angers he probably received his doctorate before 1419 as a licensee of both rights . In any case, when the University of Rostock was founded in 1419, he enrolled in a prominent third place in the register as licenciatus in utroque iure , after the founding rector Petrus Stenbeke and Heinrich von Geismar and before his Lübeck colleague Werner Brekewoldt , who became the third rector of the university. In the literature, this matriculation is sometimes interpreted as an honorary matriculation because he did not appear in Rostock, but it can also mean that he was first dean of the law faculty. From 1417 to 1440 he is mentioned as dean of the Lübeck cathedral chapter . In addition, from 1417 he was vicar at St. Petri in Hamburg. From 1437 to 1438 he had a benefice as a canon at St. Gereon in Cologne. For the period from 1438 to 1444, he was back in Paris as a Magister and again a member of the German nation. From 1446 until his death he was Dr. legum (Dr. iur. utr.) Professor of both rights at the old University of Cologne .

On the day of his death, he was buried in St. Gereon's Nikolauskapelle in Cologne.
