Synopsis
Contributing Authors

Erste vollstandige Biografie des genialen Verfassers der “Dunkelmannerbriefe”, des hochgebildeten Thuringer Humanisten und umstrittenen Theologen Johannes Crotus Rubianus (1480 – etwa 1540).

Thomas Mann nannte den Thuringer Humanisten und Theologen Johannes Crotus Rubianus (1480 bis etwa 1540) einen Mann “von der gebildetesten Friedensliebe”. Trotzdem geriet Crotus immer wieder in die geistigen und religiosen Auseinandersetzungen der Zeit. So ergriff er im sogenannten “Reuchlin-Streit” mit seiner genialen Satire der “Dunkelmannerbriefe” Partei fur den umkampften Hebraisten Johannes Reuchlin. 1521 empfing er, der leidenschaftliche Anhanger Martin Luthers, als Rektor der Erfurter Universitat den damals bereits gebannten Reformator. In der zweiten Halfte der zwanziger Jahre diente er in wichtiger Funktion dem preussischen Herzog Albrecht, der das ehemalige Deutschordensgebiet in einen Staat lutherischer Pragung umgewandelt hatte. Desillusioniert von der Entwicklung jedoch, die die lutherische Reformation genommen hatte, kehrte er 1530 zum alten Glauben zuruck und wurde Rat und Kanoniker in dem vom Mainzer Erzbischof gegrundeten Neuen Stift zu Halle. Von den Lutheranern wurde er als “Dr. Krote, des Kardinals Tellerlecker” geschmaht. Eckard Bernstein hat die zeitgenossischen Briefe von und an Crotus sowie zahlreiche andere Dokumente aus dieser an religiosen Umbruchen und Verwerfungen reichen Zeit ausgewertet. Ihm gelingt so die erste fundierte, den zeitlichen Kontext berucksichtigende Biografie des genialen Thuringer Satirikers hochgebildeten Humanisten und Theologen Johannes Crotus Rubianus.
