Joseph Bernhard Gletle

Joseph Bernhard Gletle (~ March 17, 1655 in Augsburg ; † July 26, 1696 in Salzburg ) was a lawyer and professor at the Benedictine University of Salzburg .

Life

Joseph Bernhard Gletle was a son of the Augsburg cathedral music director Johann Melchior Gletle (1626–1683) from Bremgarten in Aargau , who was married to Maria Katharina Streitlin. He studied at the Benedictine University of Salzburg and the Jesuit University of Ingolstadt , where he received his doctorate in both rights in 1681. For a few years he taught at the University of Dillingen until he was appointed to the chair of Pandects in Salzburg in 1684 . After the death of Johann Balthasar Braun , he applied for the higher-level chair for the Codex and public law, which he received on November 17, 1688 (date of the archbishop's appointment). He was dean of the law faculty three times and was appointed to the Prince's Council of Salzburg.

According to Zauner, Gletle was "one of the most thorough and enlightened Salzburg law teachers". That he belonged to the early Enlightenment is made clear by the affair surrounding his last work, Legis Amortizationis et immunitatis ecclesiasticae anatomia iuridica (Brandhuber), which dealt critically with the acquisition of property and the immunity of the church. The publication, although initially approved by the theological and law faculties, was prevented by the prelates in charge of the university by buying up all the printed copies. It did not appear again until 1714, after Gletle's death.

Gletle was childless with Maria Elisabeth Weber, whom he declared a universal heiress. He bequeathed his plants and tulip bulbs partly to a relative and partly to the Benedictines of the College of St. Charles Borromeo. He died on July 26, 1696 and was buried in the Sacellum on July 29 . Ernst Friedrich von Someting took over his chair .
