Life
Johannes von Dambach joined the Dominican Order in 1308 and studied in Strasbourg . During the subsequent studies at the University of Cologne , he was a student of Meister Eckhart . At the University of Paris , where he also studied, he met the theologian Johannes Tauler . After he was expelled from Strasbourg in 1338, he joined the Dominican convent in Basel in 1340 . After further studies in Bologna and Montpellier , he acquired the degree of master of theology in 1347. In the same year he was sent to Prague for the order's own general studies. There he was entrusted by the Bohemian King Charles IV with the preparation of the theological studies at the newly founded Charles University in Prague .
During his stay in Prague he wrote, among other things, the Exhortatio ad Carolum IV , in which he asked the king to lobby the Curia in Avignon for the withdrawal of the interdict . 1350-1356 he is said to have stayed in Paris and then in Strasbourg. In the last years of his life he only worked as a writer. His works had a great influence on piety in the 14th and 15th centuries.
