JACOB OF JUTERBOGK (c. 1381-1465)

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 114 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: INV-JED
JACOB OF JUTERBOGK (c. 1381-1465) , monk and theologian. Benedict Stolzenhagen, known in religion as Jacob, was born at Juterbogk in Brandenburg of poor peasant stock. He became a Cistercian at the monastery of Paradiz in Poland, and was. sent by the abbot to the university of Cracow, where he became master in philosophy and
doctor
  of theology. He returned to his monastery, of which he became abbot. In 1441, however, discontented with the absence of strict discipline in his community, he obtained the leave of the papal legate at the council of Basel to transfer himself to the Carthusians, entering the monastery of Salvatorberg near
Erfurt
 , of which he became prior. He lectured on theology at the university of
Erfurt
 , of which he was
rector
  in 1455. He died on the 3oth of April 1465.
Jacob's main preoccupation was the reform of monastic life, the grave disorders of which he deplored, and to this end he wrote his Petitiones religiosorum pro reformatione sui status. Another
work
 , De negligentia praelatorum, was directed against the neglect of their duties by the higher clergy, and he addressed a
petition
  for the re-form of the church (Advisamentum pro reformatione ecclesiae) to
Pope
  Nicholas V. This having no effect, he issued the most outspoken of his works, De septem ecclesiae statibus, in which he reviewed the
work
  of the reforming councils of his time, and, without touching the question of
doctrine
 , championed a drastic reform of life and practice of the church on the lines laid down at Constance and Basel.
His
principal
  works are collected in Walch, Monimenta med. aev. i. and ii. (1757, 1771), and Engelbert Klupfel, Vetus bibliotheca eccles. (Freiburg-im-Breisgau, 178o).
