Michael Lindener

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Michael Lindener (* around 1520 in Leipzig , † March 7, 1562 in Friedberg ) was a German poet .

Lindener studied in Leipzig and then led an unsteady life. Among other things, he worked as a proofreader and finally a schoolmaster in Nuremberg , Ulm and Augsburg . He was regarded as addicted to fame, so he gave himself the title "Doctor" and "poeta laureatus", published his own works under the names of famous contemporaries and published forgeries as translations of Savonarola's works . In his writings he proves to be a sharp-tongued mocker, numerous quotations and allusions reveal his scholarly education. On March 7, 1562 he was executed for manslaughter.
