Martin Luther : the hero of the reformation 1483-1546 / by Henry Eyster Jacobs . ustomed toboast of having been a pupil of such a Trebonius his progress was most rapid. All I50I] Childhood 13 his fellow-students were far surpassed. During thisperiod his studies were chiefly grammatical andclassical. Two influences must have affected hisreligious development at this time. His home inthe Cotta family brought him into close relationswith the institution of the Franciscans, in the nearneighbourhood, founded and endowed by theSchalbe family, from which Mrs. Cotta came. Healso became intimate with an Eisenach priest, bythe name of Braun, who afterwards appears promi-nently as a correspondent. Four years having been spent at Eisenach, almostunder the shadow of the Wartburg, he entered theUniversity of Erfurt in the summer semester of1501. His name was enrolled as Martinus Lud-her ex Mansfeld. His father having prosperedfinancially, he was relieved of all further care con-cerning his own support, and was thus enabled todevote himself entirely to his AUTOGRAPH OF REUCHLIN.
