WESEL, JOHANN RUCHRAT VON (d. 1481) , German theologian, was born at Oberwesel early in the 15th century. He appears to have been one of the leaders of the humanist movement
rector in 1458. In 146o he was appointed preacher at Mainz, in 1462 at Worms, and in 1479, when an old and worn-out man, he was brought before the Dominican inquisitor Gerhard Elten of Cologne. The charges brought against him took a theological turn, though they were probably prompted by dislike of his philosophical views. They were chiefly based on a treatise, De indulgentiis, which he had composed while at Erfurt twenty-five years before. He had also written De potestate ecclesiastica. He died under sentence of imprisonment for life in the Augustinian convent in Mainz in 148r.It is somewhat difficult to determine the exact theological position of Wesel. Ullmann claims him as a " reformer before the Reformation," but, while he mastered the formal principle of Protestantism, that scripture is the sole rule

The best account of Wesel is to be found in K. Ullmann's Reformers before the Reformation. His tract on Indulgences is published in Watch's Monumenta Medii Aevi, vol. i., while a report of his trial is given in Ortuin C:ratius's Fasciculus rerum expetendarumn et fugiendarum (ed. by Browne, London, 1690), and d'Argentre's Collectio judiciorum de novis erroribus (Paris, 1728).
