Saint Vicelinus (also ''Vicelin'', (ドイツ語:Vizelin); 1086 – December 12, 1154) was a German bishop of Oldenburg in Holstein who was considered the apostle of Holstein. ==Life== Vicelinus was born in Hamelin around 1086.〔(Mershman, Francis. "St. Vicelinus." The Catholic Encyclopedia. Vol. 15. New York: Robert Appleton Company, 1912. 29 Jan. 2014 )〕 Orphaned at an early age, he was raised by his uncle Ludolf, a priest in a neighboring village.〔(Vicelinus "St. Vicelin", Augustinian Canons )〕 He left secretly for Paderborn, where he enjoyed the home and instructions of Hartmann, and soon surpassed his companions and assisted in the management of the cathedral school. Vicelinus was called to Bremen to act as teacher and principal of the school, and was offered a canonry by Archbishop Frederick of the Archbishopric of Hamburg-Bremen. In 1122 he may have gone to Laon to complete his studies under Abelard. In 1126, Vicelinus decided to travel to Madgeburg, in order to see St. Norbert, who at that time was the archbishop. He hoped that St. Norbert would ordain him a priest and he could begin missionary work among the Slavs. For one reason or another this plan failed and so Vicelinus returned to Bremen, where Bishop Albero ordained him.〔 Hamburg-Bremen's Archbishop Adalbero sent him among the Polabian Slavs, and in the fall of 1126 Henry, Prince of the Obotrites, gave him a church in Liubice, near the site of the later Lübeck. At the death of Henry (22 March 1127) Vicelinus returned to Bremen, and was appointed pastor at Wippenthorp. This gave him an opportunity to work among the Wagrians and neighbouring Obotrites.〔 Vicelinus's preaching gathered crowds of eager listeners, and many priests aided him in founding the new monastery ((ラテン語:novum monasterium)) in 1127, which became eponymous for Wippenthorp as Neumünster. The monastery followed the Rule of St. Augustine, and was liberally endowed by the archbishop. Wars among the tribes in 1137 caused the missionaries to abandon their labours for two years. Vicelinus sent two priests to Liubice, but with little success.〔 In 1134 he founded a second canonry at Segeberg.〔 Some years later Vicelinus established a house at Hogersdorf. In Harsefeld Hamburg-Bremen's Archbishop Hartwig I made him Bishop of Starigard (or Aldinborg by the Saxons, today's Oldenburg) in 1149. There he did much for the spiritual and temporal welfare of his diocese. In 1152 he was struck by paralysis and lingered amid much suffering for two years before dying in Neumünster. 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「Vicelinus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
