vesperae.author.educationAn interesting figure in this corpus, Hermann of Nuremberg boasts a multidisciplinary education in a diverse geographical setting. He becomes magister artium at the studium of Fünfkirchen (Pécs), whence he travels to Prague. It is possible that it was here that he graduated in medicine. He then leaves Prague for Vienna, where, in 1386, he is amongst the first doctors in medicine, listed for the rectorship of Conrad of Hohenberg. However, his career did not stop at medicine, as in 1387 he is listed as baccalaureus in theologia. The two professions exist simultaneously, as 2 years later, as dean of the faculty of medicine, Hermann signs the official statutes. His inception in theology must have taken place sometime before 1396, when he is listed among the rectors of the university of Erfurt. Tuisl dates his inception in 1392 without any proof that I could find. There is, however, a possible indication towards this date. Manuscript Basel, Universitätsbibliothek, A X 73 contains an anonymous question immediately followed by the recommendatio given by Henry of Langenstein at Hermann’s vesperies.
vesperae.work.notesThe vesperies of Hermann, as already mentioned, have not survived. We only possess the sermon delivered by Langenstein at the end of the event, and which is extant in ms. Basel, Universitätsbibliothek, A X 73, ff. 94r-97r.
