Revision as of 04:04, 29 April 2009
Laurentius Corvinus (Template:Lang-de; Template:Lang-pl; 1465 – 1527) was a Silesian scholar who lectured at Cracow Academy when Nicolaus Copernicus began to study there.
Lorenz Rabe was born in Neumarkt (Środa Śląska) in Lower Silesia. He Latinized his name, as was standard custom in educational circles for centuries, and became known as Corvinus (Latin for the German word Rabe, or raven). He was from 1505-1508 employed as Stadtschreiber (city secretary) in Copernicus' home town of Thorn, now Toruń. Corvinus helped to publish Copernicus' Latin translation of the Byzantine Greek poetry by Theophylactus Simocatta, the Letters, by carrying Copernicus's translation to the printer's shop of Johann Haller in Cracow to be published in 1509. This became possible due to the fact that Corvinus received the master of liberal arts degree in 1489, after he had started his studies in Cracow in 1484.
Corvinus was also close friend to another Silesian, Johannes Sommerfeld, who also taught at Cracow while Copernicus was there. He was influenced by Conrad Celtis and Copernicus befriended the group of humanists. As a student and later magister at the Cracow Academy he was acquainted with astronomy; as magister he lectured at the faculty for several years, including the first years of Copernicus’ studies in Cracow.
Corvinus worked as teacher and rector at Schweidnitz (Świdnica), also as Breslau Stadtschreiber (city secretary) in Breslau (Wrocław). He published humanistic writings and poems, some of them of religious nature. While he had taken the position as city secretary of Thorn for a few years, he nevertheless transferred back to Breslau, when a position became open, because of his young wife's homesickness.
Corvinus lectured on “De ente et essentia” (1492) and “Aristotle’s Libri Posteriorum” (1493); he also wrote Cosmographia dans manuductionem in tabulas Claudii Ptolomei (published in Basel, 1496).
Corvinus died in Breslau.
