Marquard of Lindau
Marquard (or Markus) von Lindau (* 1320/30; † August 15, 1392 in Konstanz ; also M. Funke) was a Franciscan , preacher and author of theological writings of the 14th century.
Life
The sources for his biography are partly controversial. For example, it is unclear whether he became a lecturer at the Studium generale of the Franciscans in Strasbourg in 1373 . In 1379 he was awarded the degree of Magister of Theology on the basis of a direct order by Clement VII . In the years 1377 and 1382 to 1383 he was custodian of the Custodia Lacus (custody of Lake Constance) in Constance within the Upper German (Strasbourg) Franciscan province of Argentina , in 1389 he became provincial of the Provincia Argentina . Mainly in this province he was active in reforms.
plant
Marquard is said to have written 28 tracts and numerous opuscula. His explanation of the Ten Commandments , a Middle High German prose text, had a particularly far-reaching impact. He processed the related treatise by Heinrich von Friemar the Elder , De X Praeceptis , the most popular Decalogue of the late Middle Ages. De reparatione hominis can be seen as the main work , an interpretation of salvation history , divided into 30 "articles" with quotations and the like a. from Anselm of Canterbury , Hugo of St. Viktor , Bonaventure and Meister Eckhart . Concepts of the last two mentioned also shape Marquard's treatise on poverty, De paupertate , which interprets Eckhart's concept of poverty in the sense of Bonaventura's bare nuditas and “abegescheidenheit” (the bareness of every single thing and self-reference).
