First a Franciscan, he joined the Bohemian Brethren. He published the most extensive early Protestant hymnal in 1531, supplying most hymn texts and some tunes himself. One of his hymns was used in Johann Sebastian Bach's ''St John Passion''. == Career == Weiße was born in Neiße〔 (now Nysa, Poland) and attended the ''Pfarrgymnasium'' (pastoral school) there.〔Rudolf Walter: ''Kirchen- und Schulmusik in der Bischofsstadt Neisse im 14./15. Jahrhundert''. In: ''Die Anfänge des Schrifttums in Oberschlesien bis zum Frühhumanismus''. ed. Gerhard Kosellek, Frankfurt 1997, ISBN 3-631-32750-1, pp. 281–302.〕 From 1504, he studied at the University of Cracow and became a Franciscan monk in Breslau (now Wrocław, Poland) in 1510. He and colleagues Johannes Zeising〔Vgl. (Zeising, Johannes (d. 1528) - GAMEO ) (retrieved 22 July 2012).〕 and Johann Mönch converted to the teaching of Martin Luther, and were expelled from Breslau around 1517. In 1518 they were admitted to the Bohemian Brethren. Weiße was elected as ''Prediger'' (preacher) and ''Vorsteher'' (leader) of the German community of brethren in Landskron in 1522. The same year he was sent as part of a delegation to Wittenberg, to compare the Brethren's creed with that of Martin Luther. From 1525, Weiße, Zeising and Mönch favoured and promoted the teaching of Ulrich Zwingli, which caused conflict with the bishop of Prague. While Weiße and Mönch submitted to the bishop, Zeising joined the Anabaptists and was burned in Brünn in 1528 on a decree of the Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand I.〔 In 1531, Weiße was ordained as a priest of the Unity of the Brethren on a synod in Brandeis, and at the same time made ''Vorsteher'' of the German congregations in Landskron and Fulnek.〔 He died in Landskron in 1534.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Michael Weiße」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
