Johannes Neldel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johannes Neldel (also: Johann Neldelius; * 1554 in Großglogau ; † February 12, 1612 in Leipzig ) was a German rhetorician, logician, legal scholar and philosopher.

Life

The son of Mathias Neldel and his wife Apollonia (née Axter) began his education first in his hometown and continued it in 1567 at the electoral Saxon school in Pforta . He came to the University of Leipzig in 1571 , where he studied with Joachim Camerarius the Elder , Simon Simonius and Gregor Bersman , and in 1575 acquired the degree of master's degree from the Faculty of Philosophy. In 1576 he was accepted as a member of the Great Princely College. In addition to Aristotelian philosophy, he dealt with medical and legal studies.

In 1586 he was given the professorship of rhetoric in Leipzig , took over the professorship of Aristotelian logic in 1588 and was also appointed inspector of the schools in the province. In his teaching post he followed the Paduan-Aristotelian methodology and, as one of the most important logicians of the turn of the century, developed Aristotelian logic into a general theory of proof. Neldel was also involved in the organizational tasks of the Leipzig University. In 1593, as dean of the philosophical faculty , he tried to achieve a study reform and administered the office of rector of the Alma Mater in the winter semesters of 1594 and 1610 . He died as a senior and decemvir of the academy.

Works

His first publication Copulatio animae et corporis (Leipzig 1576, online ) is only based on the Platonic-Aristotelian school tradition. The Schediasma prodromi solidioris ... de universa rhetoricae natura disputationis (Leipzig 1587, online ), which was sharply attacked by the Philippists because of some peculiarities , only pursued the practical goal of rhetoric. Neldel's main writing is based on the same tendency: Pratum logicum seu praxis et usus organi Aristotelici (1607, the 2nd obtained by Heinrich Crell and by Hermann Conring , an edition from 1666 introduced with a preface has the title Institutio de usu organi Aristotelici in disciplinis omnibus ), in which the teaching of Aristotle on the various types of evidence is properly presented and in which separate sections develop the practice of logic in medicine, law and theology. He also published the Tractatus iuridicus et politicus de peste ( online ) by Johannes Franciscus Ripa (Jurist-1535) in 1598 . Only after his death did his Commentarius appear in 1613 in titulum Digestorum de regulis iuris , in which he gives his precise knowledge of the Pandects.

family

Neldel was married from October 27, 1589 to Anna (* May 13, 1566 in Leipzig; † December 10, 1629 ibid), the daughter of the trader Johann Lebzelter and his wife Magdalena, the daughter of the Leipzig citizen Wolff Haselach. The marriage resulted in two sons and three daughters, of which only two daughters survived the mother. A Magdalene married the Leipzig trader Hans Schneider and another daughter, Elisabeth, married the later superintendent of Torgau Johann Winter in 1619 (born September 14, 1585 in Naumburg; † March 26, 1629 in Torgau).
