Notes:
Nikolaus Thomae (c. 1492-c. 1546) studied at Heidelberg (BA, 1512; MA, 1520).
In 1520, he became a parish priest in Flinsbach, close to his hometown of Sie-
gelspach. In 1525, he was working as a pastor in Bergzabern in the Palatinate,
where, along with Peter Hescher, he helped introduce the Reformation. He was
a close friend of Oecolampadius in Basel and Johannes Bader in Landau. He
engaged in a debate with Hans Denck, and wrote a detailed report about this
encounter in a letter to Oecolampadius on 1 April 1527 (BrOek 2:51-5, Ep. 479).
He spent a week in Strasbourg and discussed sixteen difficult points, especially
the matter of baptism, with Capito and Bucer. He had frequent contacts with
Anabaptists, with whom he associated on a friendly basis, as is attested by the
many letters to his fellow countrymen, Conrad Hubert.
