Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.

(Der Jüngling entzückte die großen Humanisten mit der Eleg...)
Der Jüngling entzückte die großen Humanisten mit der Eleganz seiner lateinischen Verse. Der junge Mann erschreckte die theologischen Scholastiker und Dogmatiker mit seinen präzisen literarischen Attacken und mit seinen unerschrockenen Polemiken und scharfen Invektiven. Er verblüffte den Kaiser mit seinen politischen Ratschlägen. Seine Dunkelmännerbriefe amüsierten die gelehrte Welt. Seine Dialoge begeisterten die Intellektuellen Europas. Der Dreißigjährige publizierte einen Bestseller über die Syphilis und seine Kur. Er war berühmt, gehaßt, bewundert. Hutten war deutscher Ritter aus Franken, lebte jedoch nie als Ritter, fühlte sich aber dennoch als Ritter. Er war herumziehender Student, freischaffender Dichter und Publizist, zeitweise Diplomat in Fürstendiensten, wurde vom Kaiser zum Dichter gekrönt. Zu Beginn des 16. Jahrhunderts wollte er die deutsche Einheit, die Unabhängigkeit Deutschlands vom römischen Papst, die Befreiung der deutschen Nation von der geistigen Unterdrückung und materiellen Ausplünderung durch den Klerus. Aber Luther wies ihn als Verbündeten zurück. Sein Ritteraufstand gegen die Fürsten scheiterte, sein mittelalterlicher Traum der Ritterrepublik zerrann. Huttens Kampf gegen die Machthaber nahm terroristische Formen an. Er tauchte in den Untergrund. Verfolgt, isoliert, politisch gescheitert floh er in die Schweiz und starb, fünfunddreißigjährig an Syphilis auf der Insel Ufenau im Zürichsee. Es blieb sein dichterisches Werk. Es blieben seine Utopien. Und vor allem blieb fünfhundert Jahre lang die Faszination dieses vulkanischen Menschen, der sein persönliches Leben dem publizistischen und politischen Kampf geopfert hat. Immer wieder feierten ihn ganze Dichter- und Künstlergenerationen - die Aufklärer, die Romantiker, die Achtundvierziger-Revolutionäre, aber auch die nationalistischen Bismarck-Anhänger - als politisch-moralisches Vorbild. Der Autor schafft ein äußerst vielseitiges und differenziertes Hutten-Bild, das aus einem ebenso vielfältig gestalteten Zeitgemälde herausleuchtet. Franz Rueb, 1933 in Zürich geboren. In den sechziger Jahren politischer Journalist und Volksvertreter im Kantonsparlament in Zürich. Von 1970 bis 1974 dramaturgischer Mitarbeiter an der Schaubühne am Halleschen Ufer in Berlin. Seit 1975 freischaffender Publizist und Schriftsteller: Aufsätze, Vorträge, Features, Filmdrehbücher, Historische Monographien und Biographien, Hörspiele, Fernseh- und Theaterdramaturgie. Kritikerstimmen Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung: Rueb steht der Forschung am nächsten. Sein Hutten gewinnt aber auch dadurch an Profil, dass er eine gründliche, bis ins 20. Jahrhundert reichende Wirkungsgeschichte Huttens schreibt. Treffpunkt Bibliothek: Der Zürcher Historiker Franz Rueb hat mit dieser Biographie ein umfassendes geschichtliches Werk über Reformation, Politik und den geistigen Umschwung jener Zeit geschaffen. Berliner Zeitung: Der eigentlichen Biographie schickt Rueb eine Skizze des damaligen Zeitgeistes voraus, der geprägt war vom Widerstreit zwischen der althergebrachten dogmatisch-christlichen Denkweise und der mit Handel, Seefahrt und Humanismus einherkommenden Neuzeit. Berner Zeitung: Ruebs Buch schildert aber nicht nur dieses reich gefüllte Leben, sondern macht auch die Umstände und die Umgebung deutlich, die dieses Leben prägten Er hat sich ein spannendes Thema ausgesucht und ein spannendes und anregendes Buch daraus gemacht. Basler Zeitung Magazin: Die pointiertesten Urteile über Hutten bietet der Schweizer Autor Franz Rueb, eine mögliche Folge der Gliederung seiner Biographie. Denn einem chronologischen der Huttenschen Vita folgenden Teil schickt er einen allgemeinen über die Zeit voraus. Huttens Stellung zur Ritterschaft, zum Humanismus, zu Rom und zur deutschen Nation können so auf einer von den Ereignissen losgelösten Ebene diskutiert werden.

reformer satirist scholars poet
Hutten was born on 21 of April 1488 in Steckelberg Castle, now in Schlüchtern, Hesse.
He was the eldest son of a poor and not undistinguished knightly family.
As he was small of stature and sickly his father destined him for the cloister, and, when he was ten years old, his father placed him at the nearby Benedictine monastery in Fulda to be educated as a monk.
The descendant of an impoverished knightly family that had marked him for a monastic career, he received an excellent education at the Benedictine school at Fulda, but forsook his faith there and became inveterately anticlerical.
After brief stays in Cologne and Erfurt, he entered the new university at Frankfurt-an-der-Oder, where he received a degree and published in Latin the first of many poems, which continued to appear until about 1516.
He went to Italy, took service as a soldier, and attended universities, spending some time in Pavia and Bologna.
In 1507 he was in Leipzig and then traveled north.
About two years later, in Greifswald, Pomerania, he quarreled with his patrons over his indebtedness to them and was stripped of his belongings by their servants.
In 1511 he published a treatise on The Art of Versification.
Since 1511 Hutten had been suffering from syphilis, a plague then sweeping Europe, and now, sick and once more destitute, he went to Basel, where Erasmus refused to see him, expressing disapproval of the lack of restraint that Hutten had shown in his later writings.
This rebuff led to a bitter and extended quarrel between the two humanists.
The following year he returned to Germany, where relatives found him a position as a protégéprotege of the new elector of Mainz, Archbishop Albert of Brandenburg.
In Germany he served in the imperial army (1512).
In 1514 Hutten met Desiderius Erasmus, the renowned Dutch scholar and humanist, who expressed warm admiration for his writings.
It was during this period that Hutten contributed to the famous Epistolae obscurorum virorum ("Letters of Obscure Men"), published between 1515 and 1517.
In 1519 he played a part in the expulsion of the duke. A second visit to Italy took Hutten to Bologna and Rome (1515 - 1517).
In 1517 too he played a part in the defense of Johann Reuchlin against the Cologne Dominicans; he probably wrote the second part of the famous Epistolae obscurorum virorum.
His Colloquia followed in 1518 (in German, 1520 - 1521).
The bitter dialogues Vadiscus (1520), directed against the papacy, cost him the protection of Albrecht.
His German work Aufwecker der teutschen Nation (1520; Arouser of the German Nation), which opens with his motto "Ich hab's gewagt" (I have dared to do it), was bold and forward-looking and announced his support of Martin Luther.
The hostility aroused by this work forced him to flee to Basel.
In Basel, Hutten hoped to find help from Erasmus, but the two humanists soon feuded.
His dream of enlisting Luther and the unsuccessful freedom fighter Franz von Sickingen in his struggle for a stronger, independent empire also failed, as did attempts to interest Maximilian and his successor, Charles V. Efforts to war against the Catholic clergy had degenerated into a robber-baron adventure.
Since 1511 Hutten had been suffering from syphilis, a plague then sweeping Europe, and now, sick and once more destitute, he went to Basel, where Erasmus refused to see him, expressing disapproval of the lack of restraint that Hutten had shown in his later writings.
This rebuff led to a bitter and extended quarrel between the two humanists.
In Switzerland, Huldreich Zwingli took an interest in him and sheltered him on the island of Ufenau in Lake Zurich, where Hutten died in 1523.
In 1517 he was crowned poet laureate by Emperor Maximilian I in Augsburg for his Latin poems.
His protector was Archbishop-Elector Albrecht of Mayence, at whose court he often appeared.
Because of the death of a cousin, Hans, at the hands of Duke Ulrich of Württemberg, he published sharp Latin diatribes against the duke, which have been compared with the Philippics of Demosthenes and which brought him fame.

He consequently left the school in 1504, embarking on the life of a wandering scholar and devoting himself to humanistic studies, in opposition to the scholasticism of the time.
