Johannes Hiltebrant
Johannes Hiltebrant (also Hildebrand ; * around 1480, before 1482 in Schwetzingen ; † between 1513 and 1515 probably in Tübingen ) was a German humanist teacher . He is considered to be one of the pioneers of Southwest German humanism .
Life
Hiltebrant's birth can be counted back due to his matriculation on March 7, 1496 at the University of Heidelberg . At this point he must have been at least fourteen years old. On November 9, 1497, he graduated as a bachelor's degree . He then came to the Pforzheim Latin School, which was very respected at the time . There he taught Latin and Greek in particular under the rector Georg Simler and joined the group of Johannes Reuchlin . Philipp Melanchthon was one of his best-known students, who later regularly emphasized his teaching . After Simler had retired from Thomas Anshelm's print shop as a scientific proofreader , Hiltebrant took his place and worked there until his death. After that, Melanchton appeared as such in the print shop.
In 1511, Hiltebrant moved the print shop to Tübingen, where Simler was meanwhile also at the university. On May 11, 1511 he was enrolled at the Artistic Faculty of the University of Tübingen . On July 21, 1512 he obtained his master's degree there and then turned to studies at the law faculty. In addition, he continued to work in the print shop. He is said to have also printed his own writings there. Melanchton also became his student again in Tübingen. Adalbert Horawitz reports that Hiltebrant taught as a professor in Tübingen , but this is not confirmed by Dieter Mertens .
