Life
Fabri was born in Heilbronn and entered the Dominican monastery in Wimpfen in 1520 . In 1534 he was cathedral preacher in Augsburg , but then came to Cologne after the ban on Catholic sermons by the Augsburg magistrate , where he studied and published his first writings from 1535. One of the writings describes the attempt to introduce the Reformation in Wimpfen by Erhard Schnepff . Fabri returned from Cologne to Wimpfen, which initially remained Catholic, was then confronted with the effects of the Reformation there, and turned to Colmar in the spring of 1540 . In 1544 he came to Freiburg im Breisgau as cathedral preacher. In 1546 he became a preacher and prior in Schlettstadt . After the successful outcome of the Schmalkaldic War for the Catholic side , he was called back in 1547 as cathedral preacher in Augsburg, which had become Catholic again.
In Augsburg he wrote most of his 20 or more often polemical writings, some in German and some in Latin, particularly against Anabaptists and Lutherans . His writings also included The Right Way (1553), The Spiritual Education (1556), a Catechism (1551), a Confession Book (1550) and a Prayer Book. His main work is What is the Protestant Mass, thorough and Christian indications from the holy scriptures and from the old holy doctors of the church (1555). Meanwhile , the Lutheran theologian Flacius Illyricus published pamphlets against Fabri. After he received his doctorate in theology under Petrus Canisius at the University of Ingolstadt in 1552 , he taught there at the theological faculty. He was buried in the Dominican Church in Augsburg in 1558 .
