Konrad Peutinger
Conrad Peutinger was a German humanist and antiquarian.
Education
He studied law at the universities of Padua and Bologna in Italy.
Career
Back in Germany, he was elected syndic of his hometown Augsburg and from 1497 held the office of a town clerk (Stadtschreiber), representing the city in several Imperial diets, notably that of Worms including the hearing of Martin Luther in 1521. Peutinger's accounts were a valuable source for later historians like Theodor Kolde.
He was on close terms with the Habsburg emperor Maximilian I, who appointed him Imperial councilor.
Peutinger, an early proponent of economic liberalism, mediated between the Imperial estates and the Augsburg Fugger and Welser families. He was able to assert his position under Maximilian's successor Emperor Charles V, however, his politics aiming at a balance of power were aborted by the advancing Reformation after the 1529 Protestation at Speyer. When in 1534 the citizens of Augsburg turned Protestant, he retired from public offices.
In addition to his famous Tabula peulingcriana, Peutinger also edited the Historia Golhorum of Jordanes, and the Historia gentis Langobardorum of Paulus Diaconus.
Achievements
-
He was one of the first to publish Roman inscriptions, and his name remains associated with the famous Tabula peulingcriana, a map of the military roads of the western Roman Empire.
