See also:STUMPF, JOHANN (1500-1576) , one of the See also:chief writers on Swiss See also:history and See also:topography, was See also:born at See also:Bruchsal (near Carlsruhe). He was educated there and at See also:Strassburg and See also:Heidelberg. In 1520 he was received as a cleric or See also:chaplain into 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 the Knights Hospitallers or of St See also:John of See also:Jerusalem, was sent in 1521 to the preceptory of that order at See also:Freiburg in See also:Breisgau, ordained See also:priest in See also:Basel, and in 1522 placed in See also:charge of the preceptory at Bubikon (See also:north of Rapperswil, in the See also:canton of See also:Zurich). But Stumpf soon went over to the Protestants, was See also:present at the See also:great Disputation in Berne (1528), and took See also:part in the first Kappa. See also:War (1529). He had carried over with him most of his parishioners whom he continued to care for, as the See also:Protestant pastor at Bubikon, till 1543, then becoming pastor at Stammheim (same canton) till 1561, when he retired to Zurich (of which he had been made a burgher in 1548), where he lived in retirement till his See also:death in 1576. In 1529 he married the first of his four wives, a daughter of Heinrich Brennwald (1478-1551), who wrote a See also:work (still in MS.) on Swiss history, and stimulated his son-in-See also:law to undertake See also:historical studies. Stumpf made wide researches, with this See also:object, for many years, and undertook also several journeys, of which that in 1544 to See also:Engelberg and through the See also:Valais seems to be the most important, perhaps because his See also:original See also:diary has been preserved to us. The See also:fruit of his labours (completed at the end of 1546) was published in 1548 at Zurich in a huge See also:folio of 934 pages (with many See also:fine See also:wood engravings, coats of arms, maps, &c.), under the See also:title of Gemeiner loblicher Eydgnossenschaft Stetten, See also:Landen, and Volckeren chronikwirdiger Thaaten Beschreybung (an See also:extract from it was published in 1554, under the name of Schwyizer Chronika, while new and greatly enlarged See also:editions of the original work were issued in 1586 and 26o6). The wood-cuts are best in the first edition, and it remained till See also:Scheuchzer's See also:day (See also:early 18th See also:century) the chief authority on its subject. Stumpf also published a monograph (very remarkable for the date) on the See also:emperor See also:- HENRY
