Ludwig Carinus

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ludwig Carinus (actually Ludwig Kiel ; also Ludovicus Carinus ) (* probably 1496 in Lucerne ; † January 17, 1569 in Basel ) was a Swiss humanist and doctor.

Career

His parents were the Lucerne signatory and Grand Councilor Hans Kiel and his wife Cäcilia Ritzi. From 1513 he received benefices as canon at Beromünster Abbey , from which he was excluded in 1531 after converting to the Reformation . From 1511-12 Carinus was enrolled at the University of Basel and in 1514 earned his bachelor's degree . In Basel he made the acquaintance of Glarean , Wilhelm Nesen and Bruno Amerbach, the brother of Bonifacius Amerbach, and was thus close to the circle around Erasmus of Rotterdam . When Nesen, who was in charge of Kiel's studies, left Basel in 1517, he followed him to Paris and later to Leuven , where they met Erasmus again. From 1522 to 1523 Kiel lived for a while in Erasmus's Basel household. However, he lost his friendship when he sided with his now Reformed friend Nesen in the dispute between Nesen and Erasmus.

In 1523 he temporarily replaced Nesen as rector of the Latin school in Frankfurt . Here he made friends with Melanchthon . After 1528 he studied with Johannes Sturm in Strasbourg . In 1531 his former student colleague Oswald Myconius, also from Lucerne, dedicated his biography to Zwingli. From 1535 he worked as a teacher and went on trips and study visits as a tutor with the Fugger sons. From 1546 to 1555 he received benefices as a sinecure at the Thomasstift in Strasbourg. He then worked in Basel as a practicing doctor and supported a.o. a. Hieronymus Wolf at the publication of ancient authors.
