"Johannes Oecolampadius (also Œcolampadius, in German also Oekolampadius, Oekolampad; 1482 – 24 November 1531) was a German Protestant reformer in the Reformed tradition from the Electoral ...
Palatinate. He was the leader of the Protestant faction in the Baden Disputation of 1526, and he was one of the founders of Protestant theology, engaging in disputes with Erasmus, Zwingli, Luther and Martin Bucer. Calvin adopted his view on the eucharist dispute (against Luther).
His German surname was Hussgen (or Heussgen, Huszgen), which he etymologized to Hausschein ("house-shine") and graecicized (as was the custom at the time) to Oecolampadius (from οίκο- oiko-, "house," and λαμπάδ- lampad-, "torch, lamp").[a]Cite error: There are <ref group=lower-alpha> tags or {{efn}} templates on this page, but the references will not show without a {{reflist|group=lower-alpha}} template or {{notelist}} template (see the help page)." - (en.wikipedia.org 31.01.2020)
