Seal of Currers. Drawing by Rudolf Weser

Kaspar Currer or Churrer / Kurrer (* probably around 1500 in Schorndorf , † 1550 /51) was a German philologist and lawyer.

Live and act

Currer was enrolled at the University of Tübingen on March 2, 1516. In 1519 he became a master. The pupil of Philipp Melanchthon got the Editio princeps des Lampert von Hersfeld ( Tübingen 1525). Probably this edition gave the vehement proponent of the old faith the place on the index Librorum Prohibitorum from 1559 ( Gafpar - lies Gaspar - Churrerus ).

1523–1526 and 1533–1535 he taught Greek as a professor in Tübingen, and from 1538–1542 also in Ingolstadt . In Ingolstadt he received his doctorate on May 21, 1543 as Dr. iur. civ.

In 1537/38 Currer was a university notary in Tübingen, from 1544 he was the syndic of the Catholic imperial city of Schwäbisch Gmünd . He represented them at the Augsburg Reichstag in 1547/48.

The Kaspar-Kurrer-Weg reminds of him in Schorndorf.
