Sebastian Münster

Sebastian Münster (1488-1552) was a cosmographer and Hebrew teacher who taught in Tübingen, Heidelberg and Basel. He settled there in 1529 and died there of the plague in 1552.
As a young man, Münster joined the Franciscan order and studied philosophy in Heidelberg. He also studied geography and mathematics in Loewen, as well as Hebrew in Freiburg.

In 1512, he was ordained a priest and taught philosophy and theology in Tübingen from 1514 to 1518. In Tübingen, he also studied geography. He moved to Basel in 1518 and published a Hebrew Grammar, one of the first Hebrew works published in Germany. In 1521 Münster moved again to Heidelberg, where he continued to publish Hebrew texts and the first Aramaic books produced in Germany.
