Gelehrtentum Und Patrizierstand Synopsis

English summary: Sixtus Tucher (1459-1507), the privileged son of a Patrician family, pursued a religious career. But how much of it did he actually determine himself, and which aspects were dictated to him by others? Where was he active, and where did his surroundings act upon him? In addition to these questions, Antonia Landois deals with the relevance of status of birth and 'acquired' scholarship. She asks how much religiosity and piety mattered to him and what role self-promotion and other people's definitions play in creating an image of a person. What might the standing and quality of the social network of a humanist scholar such as Tucher have looked like? Did scholars keep to themselves? The author approaches the spheres of influence of this multi-faceted humanist from Nuremburg and looks at possible conclusions with regard to the humanist movement in an urban context.

German description: Der privilegierte Patriziersohn Sixtus Tucher (1459-1507) schlug die geistliche Laufbahn ein. Doch wieviel an seiner Karriere bestimmte er selbst, wo war sie ihm vorgeschrieben? Wo wirkte er, wo wirkte das Umfeld auf ihn ein? Neben diesen Fragen beschaftigt sich Antonia Landois mit dem Verhaltnis von Geburtsstand und "erworbenem" Gelehrtentum. Sie untersucht, welchen Platz Religiositat und Frommigkeit bei ihm einnahmen und welche Rolle Selbstinszenierung und Fremdzuschreibung fur das Bild, das von einer Person entworfen wird, spielen. Wie kann man sich Grad und Qualitat der sozialen Vernetzung eines humanistischen Gelehrten wie Tucher vorstellen? Blieben Gelehrte unter sich? Die Autorin nahert sich den Wirkungskreisen dieses facettenreichen Nurnberger Humanisten an und analysiert, was sich daraus uber die Bewegung des Humanismus im stadtischen Kontext ableiten lasst.
