Bonnus, Hermann, 1504-1548
Hermann Bonnus studied in Wittenberg from 1523, then in Greifswald. While a tutor in 1528, he wrote a Latin-Low German grammar. In 1531, he was appointed rector of the Latin school, the Katharineum, which was newly founded at the Franciscan monastery of St. Katharinen in Lübeck, then he was named the first superintendent of Lübeck. At this time he was involved in the Lübeck Bible, a translation of Luther's Bible into Low German. He engaged in religious reform, creating a Reformation church order in Osnabrück in 1543. His most notable work is the Lübeck chronicle, but he also wrote catechisms, hymnbooks, lectures, an anthology, and a Latin textbook.
