Tilmann from Lyn

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tilmann Lyn or Leyn or de Lynde (* around 1480 / 85 likely in Linn (Krefeld) , † after 1522 ) was a Carmelite and early supporter of the Reformation in Strasbourg .

Life

Tilmann von Lyn came from a place called Linn, Linde or similar; Because of its Low German language species, Linn on the Lower Rhine , now a district of Krefeld , is the place of birth. The name “Thiele van Lynde ; Theilgin van Linde; Tilmann von Linden ”is also recorded in Monreal near Mayen .

Since Tilmann entered the order of the Brothers of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel as a novice in the Carmelite Monastery of Speyer , he was also nicknamed "de Spira" ("von Speyer").

Tilmann studied philosophy in Cologne in 1498 and in Trier in 1499 . In 1500 he became an informator in Speyer and in 1501 in the Carmelite monastery in Mainz . From 1502 to 1504 he was subprior and cursor (candidate for the office of reading master ) in Speyer, 1505 and 1506 cursor in the so-called " Black Monastery " of the Carmelites in Kreuznach , 1509 cursor in the Carmelite monastery at the site of today's Ludwigskirche in Strasbourg and from 1510 again Cursor in Speyer. In 1510 he became a lecturer (reading master) in Speyer. In 1511 there is evidence of a sermon by Tilmannus de Lyn as Speyr lecturer at the University of Cologne. In 1512 he was lecturer at the Carmelite monastery in Frankfurt am Main , 1513 to 1514 in Strasbourg, 1515 to 1516 subprior in Speyer, 1517 to 1518 in Weinheim and again in Speyer in 1519. Then Tilmann came back to the Carmelite convent in Strasbourg and was lecturer there in 1520.

Together with the Augustinian Wolfgang Schultheiss (1491 / 92–1565), the preacher at the Strasbourg cathedral Matthäus Zell and the people priest Symphorianus Pollio he spread the Lutheran doctrine in Strasbourg in 1521 and 1522 . Tilmann von Lyn seems to have been the first and initially the only Protestant preacher in Strasbourg before Zell. Under the influence of Luther's letter to the Christian nobility of the German nation on the improvement of the Christian status (1521), he criticized the papacy, demanded belief in Christ alone, the abolition of the mass and campaigned for the marriage of priests.

After the publication of the Edict of Worms in Strasbourg, Jakob Steinmüller, Fiscal of Bishop Wilhelm III , forbade him . von Hohnstein (1475–1541, reigned 1506), accompanied by the notary Johannes Eberhardi called Schenckbecher († 1540) on December 28, 1521 the further preaching and confession. Prior Leonhard Knecht prevented an arrest because Tilmann reads mass and is indispensable for the monastery’s income. At the beginning of 1522, Tilmann wrote a defense letter to the city council. The Carmelite Provincial Chapter in Cologne canceled Tilmann von Lyn on May 7, 1522, the degree of lecturer, forbade him from further preaching and ordered his custody. With him three other brothers of the monastery were sentenced to prison terms. On July 1, 1522, the episcopal chancellery in Zabern requested the Prior Knecht to remove Tilmann from the Strasbourg order.

Nothing is known about the further fate of Tilmann von Lyn. He may have been sent to another monastery or worked under a different name as a Lutheran preacher. In 1534, Zell wrote in the foreword to Martin Bucer's catechism , before his - Zell - own evangelical sermon in Strasbourg, after the Carmelite (Tilmann von Lyn), who appeared first, the Augustinian (Wolfgang Schultheiss) was "somewhat more dapper", but both would have her sermon "soon to be canceled".
