Johannes von Kitscher

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johannes von Kitscher , also Johann von Kitzscher († probably 1521) was a German lawyer and humanist .

Life

He studied 1478/1479 at the University of Leipzig , 1490 in Rome , and finally at the University of Bologna , where he in 1498 to Dr. jur. received his doctorate. In Italy, learned Duke Bogislaw X of Pomerania, perching on a trip to the Holy Land was to know him and took him, just as the same time the Peter of Ravenna , as a lawyer in his services in the important field of Roman law ( see : Reception of Roman law ) was formed. In Pomerania, Johannes von Kitscher worked as a ducal advisor. He stayed in Szczecin for a few years. The policy of the learned jurists, which was directed against the cities, especially the city of Stralsund , was unsuccessful, however, so that the duke turned away from them and Johannes von Kitscher finally left Pomerania.

Johannes von Kitscher first worked in Wittenberg as Chancellor Elector Friedrich III from 1504 . of Saxony. From 1508 to 1512 he was General Procurator of the Teutonic Order in Rome. He probably died in 1521 as provost of Altenburg .
