Johannes von Müller

The Columbia Encyclopedia, 6th ed. | 2011 | Copyright

Johannes von Müller , 1752–1809, Swiss historian. He spent much of his life in Germany, where he held political posts under the elector of Mainz, the king of Prussia, and King Jérôme Bonaparte of Westphalia. His patriotic history of Switzerland (5 vol., 1786–1808, in German), long since superseded, was hailed in its day with great enthusiasm. Evoking the past, Müller praised traditional institutions. He fully accepted the William Tell legend; from Müller's history Schiller drew the material for his drama.

Geiler von Kaisersberg, Johann

The Concise Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church | 2000 | | Copyright

Geiler von Kaisersberg, Johann (1445–1510), ‘the German Savonarola’. He held teaching posts at Freiburg and Basle, but his reforming interests led him to abandon academic work. From 1478 he held the office of cathedral preacher at Strasbourg. Despite his austere moral ideals and his denunciation of the vices of all classes, he won and held his hearers. He demanded reform but never seems to have contemplated leaving the Church.
