See also:EMSER, See also:JEROME, or HIERONYMUS (1477-1527)
, antagonist of See also:Luther, was See also:born of a See also:good See also:family at See also:Ulm on the loth of See also:March 1477
.
He studied See also:Greek at See also:Tubingen and See also:jurisprudence at See also:Basel, and after acting for three years as See also:chaplain and secretaryto See also:Raymond Peraudi, See also:cardinal of Gurk, he began lecturing on See also:classics in 1504 at See also:Erfurt, where Luther may have been among his See also:audience
.
In the same See also:year he became secretary to See also:Duke See also:George of Albertine See also:Saxony, who, unlike his See also:cousin See also:Frederick the See also:Wise, the elector of Ernestine Saxony, remained the stanchest defender of See also:Roman Catholicism among the princes of See also:northern See also:Germany
.
Duke George at this See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)
- TIME, MEASUREMENT OF
- TIME, STANDARD
time was See also:bent on securing the See also:canonization of See also:Bishop See also:Benno of See also:Meissen, and at his instance See also:Emser travelled through Saxony and Bohemia in See also:search of materials for a See also:life of Benno, which he subsequently published in See also:German and Latin
.
In pursuit of the same See also:object he made an unsuccessful visit to See also:Rome in 1510
.
Meanwhile he had also been lecturing on classics at See also:Leipzig, but gradually turned his See also:attention to See also:theology and See also:canon See also:law
.
A prebend at See also:Dresden (1509) and another at Meissen, which he obtained through Duke George's See also:influence, gave him means and leisure to pursue his studies
.
At first Emser was on the See also:side of the reformers, but like his See also:patron he desired a See also:practical See also:reformation of the See also:clergy without any doctrinal See also:breach with the past or the See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk
- CHURCH, FREDERICK EDWIN (1826-1900)
- CHURCH, GEORGE EARL (1835–1910)
- CHURCH, RICHARD WILLIAM (1815–189o)
- CHURCH, SIR RICHARD (1784–1873)
church; and his liberal sympathies were mainly humanistic, like those of See also:Erasmus and others who parted See also:company with Luther after 1519
.
As See also:late as that year Luther referred to him as " Emser See also:poster," but the disputation at Leipzig in that year completed the breach between them
.
Emser warned his Bohemian See also:friends against Luther, and Luther retorted with an attack on Emser which outdid in scurrility all his polemical writings
.
Eraser, who was further embittered by an attack of the Leipzig students, imitated Luther's violence, and asserted that Luther's whole crusade originated in nothing more than enmity to the See also:Dominicans, Luther's reply was to See also:burn Emser's books along with See also:Leo X.'s See also:bull of See also:excommunication
.
Emser next, in 1521, published an attack on Luther's " See also:Appeal to the German See also:Nobility," and eight See also:works followed from his See also:pen in the controversy, in which he defended the Roman See also:doctrine of the See also:Mass and the primacy of the See also:pope
.
At Duke George's instance he prepared, in 1523, a German See also:translation of See also:- HENRY
- HENRY (1129-1195)
- HENRY (c. 1108-1139)
- HENRY (c. 1174–1216)

Henry VIII.'s " Assertio Septem Sacramentorum contra Lutherum," and criticized Luther's "New Testament." He also entered into a controversy with ZwingIi
.
He took an active See also:part in organizing a reformed Roman See also:Catholic Church in Germany, and in 1527 published a German version of the New Testament as a See also:counter-blast to Luther's
.
He died on the 8th of See also:November in that year and was buried at Dresden
.
Emser was a vigorous controversialist, and next to See also:Eck the most eminent of the German divines who stood by the old church
.
But he was hardly a See also:great See also:scholar; the errors he detected in Luther's New Testament were for the most part legitimate See also:variations from the See also:Vulgate, and his own version is merely Luther's adapted to Vulgate requirements
