Thomas Köllin
Thomas Köllin (also: Kellin, Coelius ; * in Schwäbisch Gmünd ; † June 22, 1524 ibid) was a German Catholic theologian and rector of the University of Wittenberg.
Life
Köllin came from a family of scythe smiths. He studied at the University of Mainz , where he obtained the academic degree of a master's degree in philosophy. In 1501 he became pastor of the second Augsburg benefice in Lorch . At the end of 1502 he was one of the first to go to the newly founded University of Wittenberg . Here he worked as one of the first teachers at the philosophical faculty. During his dean's office in the winter semester 1503 at the philosophical faculty, he is noted as a baccalaurus of the theological faculty. The arrangement of the deanery book of the philosophical faculty with its statutes goes back to him.
In the following summer semester of 1504 he also seems to have created the first volume of the university registers as rector of the alma mater . After he was relieved by Vincentus of Ravenna on June 23, 1504 , he returned to Lorch, where in 1506 he was appointed pastor of the curatorial frieze. There he evidently worked out the order of worship from 1508.
In 1520 he became pastor in Schwäbisch Gmünd . He was elected dean of Chapter Lorch in 1521, which he remained until the end of his life. In 1520 in Schwäbisch Gmünd he created a service order comparable to that of Lorcher with a calendar of the year and a small list of pastors as well as the 28-sheet "Handbuch der Dekane von Lorch", which is in the Schwäbisch Gmünd city archive . In these books he left his motto: "Si vis scire, qualis es / Quales amas, talis es" (If you want to know who you are, tell me who you love and I will tell you who you are).
Eight Latin verses by him from 1512 are handed down in the manuscript Mh 818, p. 34r-v of the Tübingen University Library .
