Rudolf Agricola (poet)
Rudolf Agricola , actually Baumann , called Junior, (* 1490 in Wasserburg am Bodensee; † March 4, 1521 in Krakow ) was a German printer and author. It was built by Emperor Maximilian I to the crowned poet .
Agricola first went to Rottweil and Leipzig , from there to Breslau , where Lorenz Rabe Laurentius Corvinus was currently staying. In 1510 he went to Krakow, which was previously a Hanseatic city with a large proportion of German citizens, craftsmen and artists. There Agricola was a student of Michael Falkner von Breslau and Paulus Crosnensis . Agricola stayed and taught at the University of Cracow. In 1514 he went to Gran and from there to Vienna in order to take part in the meeting of Emperor Maximilian I in 1515, where he was (probably) also crowned. He then accompanied Johann Eck back to Ingolstadt , went to Moravia in 1515/16 and then back to Krakow. In 1519 he became the praeceptor of the Italian companion of the Polish Queen Bona Sforza, who was coming from Milan .
From his correspondence with Vadian, with whom he lived in Vienna and with whom he also traveled, it emerges that he wanted to leave Krakow out of grief over the incipient German-hostile conditions. He was about to return to Vienna, Switzerland or his homeland when he died of typhus in Krakow in 1521 .
Grimm assumes that Agricola printed it himself, which however is not secured.
