Notes - I'm glad to hear that, even though your eyes are getting bleary from slogging through "Licht am Abend", you're as happy as a bug in a rug. Well, you'll be happy to know that I have finished the English translation of the biography of Stephen Thomas Thomä. As a cradle Catholic, I'm not familiar with the Reformation terminology so it took me a while to figure out what the heck did Rev. Christian Thomä meant by this and that. So that's what he meant when he wrote that Father "informed the oldest sons"! He was actually home-schooling them, including Stephen Thomas. "Convictorio" was a term used to describe a pastor's assignment and service. Johann Christian Thomä's biography is two pages long so it'll take a while to translate it into English.
But, first, a couple of words - As you probably know from my English translation of the Hildburghausen timetable, the Church of St Lorenz was the main church of the town but it was destroyed by the Great Fire of 1779. "U.L. Frauen" is the holdover from the Catholic past of Hildburghausen. It's short for "Unsere Liebe Frauen", German for "Our Blessed Lady", who is of course the Virgin Mary, the Mother of God. But this church doesn't exist anymore, too. They were both replaced by the present Evangelical Churches - the Christus and the Neustadter - and the Catholic Church of St Leopold.
And how the feature presentation . . .
The original German version:
Stephan Thomas Thomæ, ist ein Sohn Hn. Stephani Thomæ, Adjuncti in Sonnenfeld, und Fr. Cordulen, einer gebohrnen Buchenröderin, gebohren den 27. Maji 1679. Er genosse die Information in dem väterl. Hause, so lange biß er 1696. sich auf das Coburgische Gymnafium begeben kunnte, Allhier perorirte er, weil er im Convictorio die Carpzovische Frerstelle einige Jahre genossen, 1699. de laude Carpzoviana. Anno 1700. gieng er auf die Univerfität Jena, so dann 1702. auf Erffurth, und ferner 1704. auf Berlin, allwo er 2. Jahr informirte. 1706. bekam er Condition ber Hern Obrist=Wachtmeister von Glasungen, zu Hartmansdorff, ohnweit Franckfurth an der Oder. Allhier blieb er biß 1712. da er in patriam revertirte, und ber Herrn Obrist=Wachtmeister von Bölderndorff auf Zickelsdorff in Condition tratt, biß er den 19. Januar. 1722. von einem Hoch=Edlen Rath zum Præceptore der siebenden Claß in hiesiger Schule vociret wurde.
The English translation:
Stephan Thomas Thomæ, the son of Rev. Stephan Thomæ, Adjunctus of Sonnefeld, und Madame Cordula, born Buchenröder, was born on 27 May 1679. He benefited from the education at his father's house for a very long time until he could go 1696 to the Coburg Gymnasium. At this place, he matriculated, because he had gone off to the service [Convictorio, as the personal chaplain] of the Carpzov brothers [literally, "Brotherhood”] for a few years, 1699 de laude Carpzoviana [Latin, “In Praise of Everything Carpzov”]. In the year 1700 he went to the University of Jena, then 1702 to Erfurt, and further to Berlin, where he learned for 2 years altogether. In 1706, he went into the service [Convictorio, as military chaplain] of Obristwachtmeister [Major] von Glasungen in Hartmansdorf, not far from Frankfurt on the Oder. Here he would remain until 1712, when he returned to his native land and stayed in the service of Obristwachtmeister [Major] von Bölderndorff in Zickelsdorf, until he was called on 19 January 1722 by the Council of Great Nobles as the Præceptor [Supervisor] of the Seventh Class in this school [The Collegiate School of Coburg].
