THOMAS (1475-1537 ?) , See also:German satirist, was See also:born on the 24th of See also:December 1475 at Oberehnheim near See also:Strassburg. In 1490 he entered the See also:- ORDER
- ORDER (through Fr. ordre, for earlier ordene, from Lat. ordo, ordinis, rank, service, arrangement; the ultimate source is generally taken to be the root seen in Lat. oriri, rise, arise, begin; cf. " origin ")
- ORDER, HOLY
order of Franciscan monks, and in 1495 began a wandering See also:life, studying and then teaching and See also:preaching in See also:Freiburg-in-See also:Breisgau, See also:Paris, See also:Cracow and Strassburg. The See also:emperor See also:Maximilian I. crowned him in 15o5 poeta laureatus; in 15o6, he was created See also:doctor theologiae, and in 1513 Was appointed custodian of the Franciscan monastery in Strassburg; an See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office which, on See also:account of a scurrilous publication, he was forced to vacate the following See also:year. See also:Late in life, in 1518, he began the study of See also:jurisprudence at the university of See also:Basel, and in 1519 took the degree of doctor See also:juris. After journeys in See also:Italy and See also:England, he again settled in Strassburg, but, disturbed by the See also:Reformation, sought an See also:- EXILE (Lat. exsilium or exilium, from exsul or exul, which is derived from ex, out of, and the root sal, to go, seen in salire, to leap, consul, &c.; the connexion with solum, soil, country is now generally considered wrong)
exile at See also:Lucerne in See also:Switzerland in 1526. In 1533 he was appointed See also:priest of Oberehnheim, where he died in 1537, or, according to some accounts, in 1536. Murner was an energetic and passionate See also:character, who made enemies wherever he went. There is not a trace of human kindness in his satires, which were directed against the corruption of the times, the Reformation, and especially against See also:Luther. His most powerful See also:satire—and the most virulent German satire of the See also:period—is Von dem grossen lutherischen Nan-en, wie ihn Dr Murner beschworen See also:hat. Among others may be mentioned See also:Die Narrenbeschworung (1512); Die Schelmertzunft (1512); Die Gduchmatt, which treats of enamoured See also:fools (1519), and a See also:translation of See also:Virgil's Aeneid (1515) dedicated to the emperor Maximilian I. Murner also wrote the humorous Chartiludium logicae (1507) and the Ludus studentum freiburgensium (1511), besides a translation of Justinian's Institutiones (1519).
All Murner's more important See also:works have been republished in
See also:critical See also:editions; a selection was published by G. Balke in Kurschner's Deutsche Nationalliteratur (1189o). Cf. W. Kawerau, Murner and die Kirche See also:des Mittelalters (189o); and by the same writer, Murner and die deutsche Reformation (1891); also K. Ott, Uber Murners Verhaltniss zu Geller (1896).
