from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Live and act

According to Erika Ising , Johannes Seld was born in Loibes in the Waldviertel. Also after Johannes Müller , Leubs probably called today's Loibes near Waidhofen an der Thaya. His father was called Udelricus (Ulrich) Seld. The family owned vineyards near Krems and in Langenlois , from where Ulrich's father had married in Loibes. That is why one spoke of the “Seld de Langlois” family. Due to the friendship between the father and Abbot Martin von Polheim , Johannes attended the monastery school in Kremsmünster Abbey .

In 1400/01 he enrolled at the University of Vienna. Seld de Leubs translated or glossed the grammar of Aelius Donatus as a baccalaureus or a young master’s degree , the manuscript of which is in the Kremsmünster Abbey. He obtained his doctorate in the winter of 1420/21.

Seld de Leubs was repeatedly dean of the law faculty and rector of the University of Vienna.

At the Council of Basel he was the secretary of the Prince-Bishop of Passau Leonhard von Laiming .

Seld de Leubs later worked as the parish priest of Schleissheim and Krems . He sold "one and a half yoke Weingarten" to Kremsmünster Abbey in 1433 and donated over thirty manuscripts to the same monastery in 1440/1441. Most of them are of theological content. But there is also a copy of the abstract glossary, a grammatical text that is important for linguistic research.
