Johannes Hadeke

Johann (es) Hadeke (also: Hadus, Hadelius, Saxo , Joannes Hadus , Janus Hadelius ; * before 1490 in Stade ; † around 1524 in Rome ) was a German neo-Latin poet.

Life

He enrolled as Johannes Hadeke Stadensis at the University of Wittenberg in the winter semester of 1508 . There he latinized his name in Joannes Hadus and later he called himself Janus Hadelius. In Wittenberg, his poetry teacher was the Italian Richard Sbrulius , appointed as poeta by Frederick the Wise in 1507 , from whom he not only adopted the poetic manner, but also the dissolute lifestyle. He got by there with private lessons. When Sbrulius finally had to leave Wittenberg because of an offensive relationship with a "scortum honestum" and moved to the University of Leipzig in the summer of 1511 , Hadus followed him there, and when Sbrulius went to the University of Frankfurt (Oder) in 1513, Hadus pulled him in the winter semester of 1513 even there after.

His attachment there earned him the nickname Sbrulianus. A gross excess, in which he led a gang of heavily drunk students, induced him to leave Frankfurt under arrest in the summer of 1514 in order to avoid the threatened punishment. In the same semester, Duke Bogislaw X. von Pomerania sent him to the University of Greifswald as the first appointed teacher of the human disciplines , but in October 1515 he was teaching and writing at the University of Rostock and he would like to be there, as his Camoenae published in 1516 prove stayed longer if the plague hadn't driven him away.

He went to the University of Cracow via Frankfurt and Breslau in October 1516 . The epidemic struck him everywhere, and in Cracow it decimated his listeners through death and flight. In a foreign country he got into great distress due to illness, and his sometimes crawling, sometimes presumptuous verses were not suited to make friends and patrons for him. With an evil humiliation poem he told his "Tomi" Valet and he fled from the plague to Vienna, where he stayed in the circle of Conrad Celtis and got to know Joachim von Watt and Johannes Cuspinian . By Emperor Maximilian I , he got there in 1517, the poet crown awarded. The desire for a doctorate in medicine finally led him to Italy, and he is found in Rome in 1524 in the Coryciana; at this point in time his traces are lost.
