Biography/Description |
|
Stephanus was born at Rathenow (Brandenburg) in 1384. He entered the Premonstratensian order at an early age. He studied, probably law, at Erfurt (1406), and later law at Prague (1408). He finally enrolled at the University of Leipzig (1411/12). It is unclear if he ever received a degree, but he held a repetitioon on canon law during the same time. Subsequently, Stephanus’ interests rather turned to theological matters, as he embarked on an ecclesiastical career at Brandenburg. He became bishop there (1421–59) and acquired an unusual knowledge of Hebrew. He died in 1459. |
