Johannes Œcolampadius or Œkolampad. He was born in Weinsberg, a small town in the north of what is now Baden-Württemberg, but then belonging to the Palatinate. He went to school at Weinsberg and Heilbronn, and then, intending to study law, he went to Bologna, but soon returned to Heidelberg and took up theology. Enthusiastic about the new learning, he passed from the study of Greek to that of Hebrew, taking his bachelor's degree in 1503. Wikipedia
