Nikolaus Bucholt

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nikolaus Bucholt , OFM (* around 1450 in Lübeck ; † after 1492 ) was a German Franciscan.

Life

Little is known about his life. He enrolled at the University of Erfurt in 1471 , where he was accepted free of charge because of his religious affiliation. Two years later, on 13 September 1473, he was here for the doctor of theology doctorate . From 1476 he taught as a professor at the University of Greifswald and was the governor of the Franciscan seminary there.

In the years 1487, 1490 and 1492 Bucholt was custodian of the Lübeck Order Custody , which belonged to the Saxon Franciscan Province , had its seat in the Katharinenkloster Lübeck and comprised the Franciscan branches in the port cities along the Baltic coast .

Since Olaf Schwencke's research in the 1960s, Bucholt has been regarded as the leading head of a group of authors who belonged to the Devotio moderna and who, behind most of those who printed in Lübeck in the last quarter of the 15th century, primarily in the poppy-head print shop of Hans van Ghetelen Devotional literature is available.

Bucholt's most important work is the translation and glossing of the Lübeck Bible , which was published by Steffen Arndes in 1494 , even if this attribution is not undisputed.
