from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann (es) Murmel (lius) (* 1480 in Roermond , † October 2, 1517 in Deventer ) was a scholar, philologist, poet and humanist.

Life

Johannes Murmellius studied with Alexander Hegius in the school of the brothers from living together in Deventer and in 1496 moved to the University of Cologne . In 1500 it appears in the documents of Münster and returned to Cologne in 1504 to acquire the academic degree of a master's degree. In Munster he had been a teacher at the cathedral school, advocated the introduction of new textbooks and advocated basic humanistic ideas. In his endeavors, he also wrote school books on his own, which are characterized by their simplicity and clarity and which lasted a long time in school.

Disputes that resulted from this with the rector of the facility caused him to resign and in 1508 he moved to the Ludgerischule in Münster. The dispute continued, but he advocated the introduction of the Greek language as a school subject. This earned him the recognition of Ulrich von Hutten , Hermann von dem Busche , Johannes Bugenhagen , Georg Spalatin and other scholars of his time. Since the conflict in Münster became idle, he moved to the school in Alkmaar as rector in 1513 . From here he interfered literarily in the dispute over Johannes Reuchlin . The sacking of Alkmaar in 1517 drove him to Deventer, where he died.
