Johannes Cochlaeus, a Roman Catholic controversialist, was born near Nuremberg on January 10, 1479. He died on January 10, 1552 at Breslau. Cochlaeus studied at Nuremberg and Cologne where he developed a dislike for scholastic theology. He graduated in 1517 from Ferrara with the degree of doctor of theology and was ordained in Rome. Cochlaeus started out in agreement with many of Martin Luther’s ideas but by 1521 he had adopted the position of the Roman church and produced many written pieces refuting Luther’s positions. The best known works of Johannes Cochlaeus are Historiae Hussitarum Libri XII and Commentaria de Actis et Scriptis M. Lutheri, 1517-1546.
